Introduce your self and your major and your goals

Well here we go.  My name is Kevin, and I turn 24 this November.  I plan to transfer to UCI for Biology and eventually study genetics.  Epigenetics specifically.  I will be honest though I would rather not have to go to school, and am only doing this because the U.S. Navy denied my medical waiver after I fought tooth and nail trying to get in, and it was all because of some archaic business with ADHD medication.  I tested and qualified for their nuclear propulsion school where they would have drilled into my head all that great science and math stuff necessary to run a nuclear reactor without having it catastrophically melt down.  The only thing that stopped me was their grizzled, ancient doctors contracted out of civilian life to give the pass or fail to potential military applicants in situations such as mine.  Somewhere up the chain my waiver fell through, and as you can tell I am very bitter about this.  After sitting around angrily for 10 days last year after it all went down I signed up for school, figuring that now I had no choice but to do this.  Enough of my rant though.  The reason I chose Bio was because it would lead me into genetics.  I have always been fascinated by the intricate differences between different groups of people and I told myself if I couldn't fulfill my dream of being in the Navy that I would at least pursue a topic that has captivated me since I was a child.

Hello my name is Nadine Richards and I am 19 years old. This is my second year at Mount San Antonio. My major is education, and this is one of the general ed classes that I need to take in order to get my associates degree. I am looking forward to taking this class.

Hi everyone, I'm Thu Anh, and I'm major in biochemistry. I'm going to transfer to UCI this coming fall. This is my last class to fullfill the UC IGETC requirements. I haven't taken any philosophy classes before, so I think it should be interesting to explore this field a little bit. By the way, one boring thing about me is "I don't listen to music."

Hello,
My name is Danny and I am 16 years-old and this is my first semester at Mt. SAC. I recently received my GED and left high school after my junior year to achieve my academic goals in an accelerated fashion. I plan on transferring after two years to University of California, Irvine, where I can then pursue an acceptance to medical school. Besides the fact that I need PHIL 5 for a GE requirement, I took this course because I enjoy reading and broadening my knowledge on philosophers.

Hi all,

My name is Erika Resultay. I'm a resident of Cerritos and third year student at UC Santa Cruz studying botany. Taking this class to fulfill GE credit, but I'm also interested in discovering the fundamentals of philosophy!

Hello fellow classmates,


My name is Jesus Magallon and I am taking this class to meet my general education requirements. This is my first time taking an online class and so far it seems promising. For about a year now I have been focusing on my math and science classes, so taking a class out of that field feels a little unusual for me. My goal is to major in biology and hopefully one day become a physician assistant. I am an active member of the Caduceus Club on campus, and during my spare time enjoy movies and music. As for what I hope to take form this class is to be able to approach everyday life and school from a philosophical view.


Best of luck to everyone.
