Day 9 (MDC Work Day)

Hello College J-term, it’s Emily! Today is January 18th and we have 4 days left of J-term. Today was an open work day. This morning, the majority of our time was spent listening to podcasts, reading The Gatekeepers, and working on our case studies. At the end of the morning we were asked to answer questions about how the J-term is going which Mr. Awkward created. This afternoon, students will continue researching their assigned colleges. We will also be watching a movie towards the end of the day called, Mona Lisa Smile, a movie about the life of a UCLA graduate.  We are looking forward to next week and we will be returning next Tuesday for more blogs!

I was completely wrong, and I can speak for the whole group when I say we were all pleasantly surprised. GCC is in the heart of Galveston, and is a great option for people who either aren’t ready for a full 4 year college experience, or are going to transfer their credits for common core classes, it is also a very affordable way for people to get an education. This community college offers great programs such as nursing classes, culinary classes and applied sciences. They have great facilities and have one of the nicest-looking pottery classes i’ve ever seen (view of the ocean). I’m really glad we got to see a different perspective of institutions, and how a typical college might not be the right investment for everyone. The people who gave us the tour emphasi
