    • My Response: I really liked Bob’s presentation because he talked about his career with a good heart and it sounds like a fun profession to have.
  • Alex: GIF Professor
    • Description: Alex talked about how her kids inspired her new work. She mentioned that with the change of her workspace she had to find her new creative internal drive.

Part 2: Semester Reflection

I really enjoyed this class as a whole. It brought my attention to careers and opportunities that I did not have the knowledge of before. And I really don’t have anything negative to say about the class.
