1. What has been your favorite course of study in or out of school? Why?
My favorite course of study in school was Economics, the moment I was introduced to the course things just clicked. I knew that I would major in it in college.
2. How many pages was the longest paper you have written? Did it include endnotes and bibliography?
The longest paper I've writen was roughly 13 pages including endnotes and a bibliography. It was an authors study in my enlglish class last year.
3. Which was your favorite paper? Please tell us about the topic in a couple of sentences.
One of my favorite papers was one where I made a claim that the legalization of organs such as kidney's should be made. I like the paper because I got to argue a contriversial side with facts and evidence. Plus I got to apply my economical background into the paper.
4. Is there a particular kind of writing you love to do?
I like techincal writing. Argumentive pieces are my favorite.
5. Which books have you read lately: art, fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, poetry, environmental, film? Any comments are welcome.
Over the summer I read a few books, Super-Freakonomics, Atonement and Exit Here, which I have unfortunately not been able to finish. Its a great book I would definately recommend it for anyone who is looking for an intense story.
6. Which artist or writer really impresses you? Why?
Artist whose works reflect something bigger than themselves. I love Rise Against and Lupe Fiasco because they work carries so much meaning.
7. What is your main interest besides writing, art, music, (i.e., the humanities)?
I love anatomy and physiology. The way our bodies work is facinating to me.
8. Please describe briefly an article in a newspaper or a magazine that got you thinking lately.
I saw an article about a week ago which stated that women in China were growing in intellence, basically that the gender gap was closing. The article stated that the change had to do with the one child rule in china. Since families would have girls, and only be aloud that child in order to receive significant tax breaks they were sending her to school and investing in her, as they would if they had had a son.
9. Which recent cultural event has really impressed you? This can be a museum, a concert, or anything like that, but also a sports game (if you consider this a cultural event, for which there are good reasons).
I was recently impressed by the the taste of Colorado. The beauty of Denver never seizes to impress me, and the food was great.
10. Is there another, non-cultural event that has affected you deeply.
Yes, I was deeply moved by the news of a fellow CU Student dying "after a night of drinking". My heart goes out to his family and friends, and hope that everyone learns a valuable lesson from his passing.
11. Please share with us a thought or an idea that really widened your intellectual horizon. If possible, give a source for this idea so that those who are interested know where to go.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch", my economics teacher, Mr. Matthews widened my intellectual horizon with simple concepts, some that caused me to change my opinion on subjects that I thought I had already made up my mind as. He cause me to question current legislations and there relivance in our culture. Thank you Matthews. :)
