· Journal AActually, my feeling for this class is not clear y.docxLynellBull52
· Journal A:
Actually, my feeling for this class is not clear yet, because it is my first time to attend this kind of classes, which I was told that I have to take this class due to my low GPA. Honestly, I was not happy to know that I have to take this kind of classes because my grade, because I thought this class will be a time wasting for me. Also I do not like to be forced to do something that I do not like to do. However, from what we have discussed on the first class I am pretty sure that it is going to be a good experience for me in several ways such as writing journals, how to organize my schedule, and the most important thing is that how to succeed in college. Also, since I am an international student, I need to learn many skills, which this class will do it. For example, self-reflection is very important skill in this class, and it is a new skill that I need to improve myself on it by writing down my own ideas and thoughts to make a good piece of writing.
· Reflection:
As I have said on the first journal, my feeling was not that much good for this class because I thought it is going to be a time wasting, but through the semester I found out that it is really helpful and useful class, which has improved my skills and I have met many good friends and I was really glad to work with. I am sure that the time I have spent in this class was worth it.
· Journal B
Everyone has a blind spot in their personality that they don’t know about it. According to Lynn Little blind spot is “the grid that represents information that is known-by-others but not known-by-self”. There are some steps to find the blind spots in my personality that would do such as quick thinking, analysis my feelings, and ask others. First of all is quick thinking, which means to think about what I do not know about myself and others might know about me from my behavior. Second, by analyzing my feelings there is a big chance to find out some new things about my personality that I have never thought or felt about it before, which could make a huge difference. Third step is asking other people for a feedback about myself, and what they see on me According to my behavior. So, if I do like what I have found about myself by the previous steps, I would keep doing them and try to improve and develop these behaviors on my personality to get the best in myself. On the other hand, if I do not like what I have discovered about my blind spots, or myself, I will stop it immediately to avoid it or try to fix what it could be fixed by getting more knowledge about it. I believe that knowing my blind spots will support to change the way I think, behave and feel. Also, it will help me to reach more prospects for success in my college life and after college life.
· Reflection:
Since I have thought about my blind spot in my personality, I have discovered many things that if I changed them, I can improve my personality, which will help me to understand other people. Also, it can help me to impro.
Good day to all, I have updated brief about myself and I know as my career progress I will have many more experiences to add on my profile.
Looking for support and best wishes to achieve my dreams, Thanks.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Stakeholder
• K is an 18 year old recent high school graduate
living in a small community (20,000 pop.). She
is academically and athletically gifted. Her
family has limited financial means. She is
searching to find what excites and moves her
so that she can decide on a career path.
• She has decided to leave her hometown to
find work in a large city. She is leaving in
10 days.
3. • Moving from strict schedule – everyday going to school 5 days a week to not
having to anymore. For me a dramatic change. I like it I really do.
• Excited for it but it is also a scary adventure for people my age
• The responsibility and independence scares me – feeling like now that I go off and
do my own thing, get my own place and have to support myself – I keep saying it
over and over it is a big change.
• The scariest part is failing – the pressure for me knowing that my family does not
have a lot so knowing no matter what I have to succeed – a lot of pressure.
• Wished I had talked more to my counselors – would have helped – I didn’t connect
to school at all and always felt the school didn’t care and always all they talk about
is going to university right away. They don’t have any discussions with kids that are
not going to school
• I know that mentally and financially not ready for school – don’t know what I want
to pursue – don’t know what I am interested in. School is expensive and I don’t
have the money. I want to be sure that I am not wasting money going to school.
There were no opportunities in school to find out if I would like to do certain
things.
• The teachers and counselors, the only thing they focused on in school was going
on to school. They try to make it sound like it is okay to not go to school but there
is no support behind it really. When I talked about not going to school right away
with my peers and teachers and stuff, they were like that sounds like a great idea
but it didn’t feel supportive - felt like I was failing because I wasn’t going to school
right away. I know inside it is the right decision
Say
4. • They have all these seminars and things for going on to university but I wish that there were people
to talk to about life – about how do you pay your bills and how do you do these simple things that
people like myself have never been taught. The little things like that and even if you do go to
school you still need to know these things. They have grade 10 planning – nobody pays attention –
should have something, doesn’t have to be a class, but anything to talk to us about life and how to
go about it.
• It is a scary thing whether you go to school or not – the little things like how do you go about
finding an apartment, eventually finding a job – wasn’t support in that area – I wish there was – a
class or a support teacher that could talk to you
• In preparing to look for a job I have taken out my piercings as I want to look professional; updated
my resume; quit my job in town. My boss here supports me cause they know I don’t want to stay
in town
• I want to gain new experiences, do new things, gain new skills in a different work place because I
don’t think I can do it here. The only thing available here is basically fast food or restaurants jobs –
good job for a youth but I want to start to get into a more professional field and eventually go to
school. No opportunity here – so I want to go out into the world and to see what there is to see
and hopefully discover what I am interested in and find out what I do and don’t like
• I am passionate about helping people in many ways – looking now at maybe taking a paramedic
course to have something under my belt – one thing to start with. I don’t want to do it for my
career because I want to do more. I might not like it but decided to start with
• Passionate about seeing the world and stuff – what I am confused about – how do I do that through
good career opportunities
• Going out and doing things and learning things – never know if I don’t try – that’s my main reason
for leaving - along my path I don’t know what it is yet but something might happen to me might
actually find something I really like and gain experience and find out more about myself and shape
my future more. Don’t feel I can do that here.
More
to say
5. • I have a lot of questions in my mind and I don’t know who to ask. I
don’t want to appear stupid and sometimes I don’t even know what
questions to ask. At times I am overwhelmed with fear and doubt.
I don’t want to be so afraid that I can’t move forward.
• It takes courage but I have always wanted to do – always been very
independent. I love to succeed. I just want people to be proud of
me so decided to just do it and hopefully be happier
• A huge support for me has been my mom who played a big role in
my decision. She just tells me about her past experiences and lately
since I’ve grown up more I’ve started listening to her and taking her
advice and recognition.
• The China trip was huge as it opened my eyes that it was okay that I
didn’t know what I wanted to do yet – strong conversations have
really pushed me in the right direction.
• I am finding out that I need better critical thinking and problem
solving skills. We talked a lot about this on our trip to China. I
didn’t learn any of this in school.

more
