1. The faculty member I interviewed was definitely way more experienced than I, but I did relate to one challenge he overcame.
ReplyDelete2. I can relate one challenge to the teacher I interviewed which is letting go of things that we do not necessarily. Keeping up with the joneses is not a priority. My teacher taught me that at times in his life he was overwhelmed with so much material things that he did not need until he realized that it was a waste of money. I think anyone can relate to that challenge. *We don't need every new shoe, or phone that comes out*.
1.The person that I interviewed had some similarities to my college experience.
ReplyDelete2. The person that I interview we both had the trouble of balancing responsibility and freedom in the college experience.
1. some of the challenges i have face with the interviewed faculty at dillard university was trying to ask more details about their college experience and situations they face in college and ups and downs.
ReplyDelete2.the faculty i interviewed we both share some of the same issues about the same thing and challenges we have to faced.
1. I couldn't relate to any of the challenges of the faculty member I interviewed.
ReplyDelete2. Dr. Chambliss was able to work, be active in clubs, and focus on grades during freshman year. I decided to take things slowly and just focus on my grades.
@ Misha...good point
ReplyDelete@david..my response is slighlty similar
@ alannia...hopefully as your college experience goes on you can find a healthy balance between school work and being involved
1.) The faculty i intervied and myself both share a common ground as women getting educated in biological studies.
2.)I found it so interesting that even in my freshman year i could relate to Dr. Lesen's experiences in college. I specifically found it interesting that one of my least anticipated courses to take in the future, Organic Chem., almost became a barrier in Dr. Lesen's success. However after being encouraged and motivated by her own advisor, she overcame it and successfully received her Bachelors and Ph.D. I as well, anticipate a bright future, overcoming all odds, and accomplishing the goals i set out to achieve. On the contrasting end, our post-grad pursuits have diffrent routes, but all in all, we both just want to be successful.
My person, Ray use to get beat up as a child for sticking up for the color person.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that every person met someone who related to them in some shape or fashion
1. Yes, I can realte several of my challenges with the faculty member I interviewed.
ReplyDelete2. Some challenges that were similar to mines were things such as having problems with registeringand having patience to put up with the long process. In addition, feeling like giving up or going back home. Another similarity was having little financial support. One difference was having friends as negative influences.
Yes, i can related on the thought process to come to dillard.
ReplyDelete2)we both share the same challenge in school
1) Yes, i can my faculty member that i interviewed faced the same challenges i have right now .
ReplyDelete2)Some struggles that ive been through and still face with is the schools lack of organization and assistance when it comes to registration . My interviewed faculty member told me that she encountered the same problem and is usually because of the vast number of students in the school . She also stuggled with personal issues that sometimes lingered into her school life .
@ Quinysha : Yes , I agree with you everyone feels at some point like the want to give , but we must just keep trying and do only what we can .
ReplyDelete@Brandi : Good point about the lack of freedom .
@ Misha : Great point made alot of us have our Priorities messed up .
1. my faculty member talked alot about her struggles durung college that was centered around the civil rights movement. Though I wasnt around during that time, I can relate her issues with somethigns I am facing today.
ReplyDelete2. I know alot of studnets face the issue of not being motivated, or sometimes getting overwhelmed with college life. And this is something that has been happening to me latley, so I've been just trying to stay positive during my difficult moments.
1. The faculty member that I interviewed didn't really experience the same major challenge as me. Dr. Collins said that his major problem during school was finding a way to pay for it. Being on full scholarship, that is not something I have to worry about.
ReplyDelete2. My struggles and challenges can be compared to other students because we all have to adjust to having so much to do and we all need to work on managing our time more effectively.
Bridget: I agree with you on the civil rights movement. That was a good one.
Craishan: I agree with you too. We all have personal issues that effect our performance in classes.
Josef: I never had to experience getting picked on for sticking up for colored kids..
1. My faculty member discussed becoming a student of Dillard University in 1959-1963. He spoke of the differences between his experiene and our experience at Dillard University. Most of the differences surrouunded the current events of the time and how the students of Dillard were active in those events (civil rights movement). One of the challenges he said that he did not face was having to worry about being competitive as a graduate of Dillard. He felt that we still have the opportunity to be competitive because we are receiving a first class education, however this was one of my own concerns. He told me that Dillard use to have the reputation that stated, "once you leave Dillard, you can go anywhere."
ReplyDelete2. Some of the struggles I think all Dillard students deal with is being self-motivated to go find the extra things of college life that are needed to be competitive. I think we have the resources, however I do not believe everyone takes the initiative to secure them. For instance, summer internships and foundations are available for applicants, however I only know a small amour of people taking advantage of these opportunities.

ReplyDelete1. I can relate to the challenges ofthe staff membered i interviewed becaus she was doubted based on the enviornment she came from and i seen many young people from my own community doubted in the same way.
2. I know many of my classmates can also relate to this because some of us come from lo wincome communities that society doesn't expect much out of. They find it hard to believe that we are not all products of our enviornment.
1. I can relate to the person that I interveiw because Mr.Keller he is around the same age as me. So it would be easy to relate the challenges that I am facing are have faced.
ReplyDelete2.Some of challenges that the students at Dillard deal with is not attending the workshops and the monthly meeting that the Financial Aid office have so that our money is sent on time.
@Rachel I agree because there's a lot of students that are not being self-motivated to go find the extra things of college life that are needed to be competitive.
@Joshua I agree because me and Mr.Keller both have challenges.
@Misha Good Point!

ReplyDeleteJust as my candidate once struggle with her acdemic for the brief moment she did I now struggle with mine. The difference is that she had just stated school and was not ready for the test she had recieved and I am just slightly lazy and that may be an understatement. In the end she over came that struggle by keeping a postive attitude and working hard and I plan to do the same.
I notice that other students have the smae problem I have and theat is time management. The difference between me and them is that they probably work on it harder than I do because I am a mega procrastinator. Another difference is they may have more peer support than I do.

ReplyDeleteCraishan Bridges: I also have a provlem with organization and I thing if I could improve my organization I can improve my grades. Maybe we could help eachother.
Bridget D Sisney: I agree because I think if I had more folks who's opinion I valued motivating and pushing me I'd be on my "A" game.
Rachel Williams: I agree with you because I can't just depend on others motivation but also mine because I have to want for me and not others.
1. I was able to relate challenges to BOTH of the people i interviewed, was it a surprise? NOT Really, but i enjoyed doing both interviews, and know that i can go to both of them for any kind of assistance.
ReplyDelete2. Well with Ms. Robinson i found a connection more so in the social arena. She found herself losing friends because she chose to study over party sometimes which meant the study group over friends; I too found myself changing and losing friends because my focus was different.
1.Can realate to Ms. Magee that I interviewd because she's a wise and one of my greatest professors so for. Ms. and I both faced the same joy of college during our freshman year. We both tried to succeed and get a head start on our college life.
ReplyDelete2. Ms Magee and I share the level of struggle of losing our fathers and put our happyness at Dillard. But, we differ in age of attending Dillard University. She in the Civil Rights of the 1960's and I in the decline of the United States.
I agree with Dorian Webster because the person he interviewed put their mind on the levels of sucess instead of the outside world.
I agree with Rachel Williams because she makes a good point on college oppurnities and taking advantage of them.
Ekebnta Okorn: Thanks! I been working on balancing my time.
ReplyDeleteBridget D Sisney: Take your time and you will succeed.
Lisa`Asjanee: That's a good point I worked hard to keep a hgh GPA in high school, so I could attend college.
1. The faculty member that I interviewed didn't have many challenges so there wasn't anything in that nature tha I could relate to. However, one thing that I admired about him was his historical view on his family. Mainly his mother's and his involvement in the civil rights movement.
ReplyDelete2. One challenge I would say I could compare with the faculty member I interviewed was the absence of a father. His mother and father divorced when he was 10, whereas I never knew my father in any volume.
One challenge that I can slightly relate to that Dr. Alkahby faced was the fact that his scholarship was cut while he attended college and he had to make great sacrifices to continue to fund his education. I can relate to this because I have faced a great adversity in college because my major was dropped. Now I have made a sacrifice and decided to change my major, as opposed to transferring.
ReplyDeleteDr. Alkahby told me that he did not face any challenges while he attended college. That is one area where we differ. I have problems in some of my courses, especially Biology, and I have to put in much effort to maintain my 4.0 GPA. Alannia mentioned that Dr. Chambliss worked during freshman year. I, on the other hand, chose not to work or stretch my time too widely during my freshman year.
@ Alannia:
I, too, felt that it was a better idea to fully focus on my grades during my freshman year instead of working and taking the risk of getting distracted.
@ Dorian Webster
I had to learn to ignore comments from my roommate calling me a "nerd" because I did not want to go out and party. I realized that I was the one who came out on top because in the end, my grades were better and I knew that it was the result of my dedication.
@ Xandra Harston
Did you really not know your father? I am confused.
1. One challenge that i can relate to with my interviewee is the point in which we wanted to give up at a certain point in life.
ReplyDelete2. Dr. Lee and myself were both motivated by our mothers when we were young to be the best that we can be so that we can go far in life. The thing in whice we differ is the fact that he was into alot of smoking drinking and partying intil he turned his life around.

ReplyDelete1. The faculty member that I interviewed shared a few challenges that I am going through right now. Some of the challenges were financial aid.
ReplyDelete2. Some of the challenges that I had when compared to others were distance, and having the absence of a parent.
I really agree with everyone we all share many of the same challenges and sturggles whether it be money, family , or just adjusting to a new environment. It's nice to see that you share some of those same challenges and that you are not all alone. I hope everyone uses each other as a resource to overcome these challenges.
ReplyDeleteThe person that I interviewed is way more wiser than I am && been through many challenges and struggles.I could relate to a few of those struggles.
ReplyDeleteThe person that i interviewed had a few struggles in common. One of them was the sacrifice to go to a private college. Finacial problems was the biggest issue.
1. Yes, I can relate some of my challenges with that of the faculty member that I interviewed. Although she has been through more than me, From college life to our similar goals, we share similar challenges.
ReplyDelete2. Dr. Dennis and I shared similar struggles and challenges. One challenge was becoming a part of ROTC for financial stability. The strenous activities were alot to handle. Dr. Dennis motivated me when she said she always looks at the brighter side of things when she experiences struggles and challenges. As we all know, that can be hard at times.
1. The only thing that I could relate to would be probably be adjusting to the college life as she did. I think that this is an adjustment that everyone must overcome in order to succeed.
ReplyDelete2. I'm not sure what other students are struggling with, but the person i interviewed struggled financially and I dont have that problem, however she did attend the school that was first on my list of colleges, so we have similar interests.
@LaMegan, that was interesting that you both were in the ROTC program
@Kimyana...was that surprising to hear from Dr. Lee? I never would've thought
@Rayon...u need motivation and drive, laziness should not account for why you're not excelling
I cant relate to Dr. Davenport just as of yet just because of the simple fact that he is a genius at what he does and he handled everything that he went through with so much professionalism. Its just my prayer that I can follow in his footsteps.
ReplyDelete2. I can relate to most of my peers because I hear that it is common that most of us struggle with procrastination.

ReplyDelete1. I can't actualy relate to anything that my mentor said during the interview because it was mostly about his grad school experience and i ahven't made it that far yet. It gave me a lot to look forward to and prepare for though!
2.Some of the struggles I think all Dillard students deal with is being self-motivated to go find the extra things of college life that are needed to be competitive. I think we have the resources, however I do not believe everyone takes the initiative to secure them. For example, summer internships and foundations are available for applicants, however I only know a small amount of people taking advantage of these opportunities.
@LaMegan, that was interesting that you both were in the ROTC program. My roommate is also in that program.
@Kimyana...was that surprising to hear from Dr. Lee? I never would've thought since i do not really know who Dr.lee is!
@Rayon...u need motivation and drive, laziness should not be an excuse for your lack of success.
My struggles and challenges can be compared to other students because we all have to adjust to having alot to do and we all need to work on our time management.
