Dr. Cale

Got through all my tests last week with a 95 or above! That was a huge relief. The past week has been very stressful since I wanted to make sure I started off on the right foot. In other news, I made the Alpha Tau Omega step show team. Tailgated for the first time, and went to my first UNA football game! Pretty exciting weekend to say the least. I'm ready for Homecoming though, my parents are coming up to visit! Still continuing my job search through LionJobs. I have an interview this week that I am hoping goes well. As for the speaker last week, Dr. Calhoun really proved a point about STEM research. I have always enjoyed math and science, but I never thought of it as a career field. Our families and teachers in high school don't give us the idea most of the time. It's always be a doctor, lawyer, or politician. No one thinks to be an engineering or software technician. It's always other occupations. So is that the root problem or is it the high school curriculum that doesn't highlight math and science? In high school I was required to have 4 years of English, but only 3 of science and math? Doesn't that speak for itself?
