I'm taking the class because I read the course description in the course catalog and I thought the class sounded like it would be interesting. As far as what plan to get out of the course, I would like to gain a better understanding of myself, and possibly improve some of my innate qualities that will help me achieve a high level of success within the next few years. Having attended the first class, I am interested to see what the "pump fake" is, if any, in reference to the video we watched. 

As a child, I really was fascinated by anything and everything, if you can believe that. I was always excited to learn new things all of the time.  If I didn't know what something was, I wanted to know what it was, where it came from, how it worked, what made it work... things of that nature. I remember always taking things apart and, at least attempting to put them back together. It didn't matter what it was. Whether it was my toys and games or my trophies. As long as I couldn't get into too much trouble for breaking it, I was definitely going to investigate what ever it was to the fullest. I think the senses I lived through most was my sight and my sense of touch. As a kid, my two favorite things to do were watch cartoons and play video games. I loved cartoons because they were always so extremely random and outside of reality that I was fascinated by almost every cartoon. Although I had I few favorites.  I can't forget about playing. Whatever that entails. I used to love to play all the time. Especially outside. I remember loving to be outside for as long as my parents would allow me to be out. I loved being out and having fun. I also loved music, and I think I was really into the performing arts, like theater plays and concerts. I can't think of any secret dreams or fantasies I had as a kid, but I think I  knew I wanted to have a lot of money be a successful adult. 

I do feel like all of these things are still somewhat a part of me, and some part of me loves those things. I think always having a thirst for knowledge and a and a drive to just want to be out exploring, helped me develop a love for learning. I feel like I always want to learn at least one new thing everyday. I also think I have really strong interpersonal skills good for networking. Sorry, I can't think of more. I guess I'm having a brain freeze.
