Hello all...
My name is Jessica Laureano Phillips. I am 28 yrs old and am originally from Savannah, Ga. I am a newly wed...ya! I am also a veteran. I was in the Air Force for over 6yrs as a pharmacy technician. I came to Texas because my husband is from here and I came to TCU because I heard so many great things about the education offered here. I love the campus and am very excited to be here. Right now my major is Business....but I am seriously thinking of switching to a field of Anthropology...go figure. It' s totally at the opposite side of the spectrum...I know, I know, but I'm willing to take a leap of faith!
If I were made Chancellor of TCU I can't say that I'd change anything. So far my experience here has been awesome. Everyone is helpful and nice. In addition, I haven't been on campus long enough to see anything that should be changed. This is my first year at TCU, but I am a junior...or at least untill I find out I need a million classes to catch me up to an Anthropology degree.
If I could have dinner with any 3 people it would have to be President Obama, Tom Hanks, and Truman Capote.
A great teacher, I believe, is someone who makes you feel that they care about your education and are willing to help in any way they can. Also, one who teaches from self experiences and knowledge...and not a book or through lengthy lectures. A great student is one who is willing to learn, dedicate time, and respect those who are willing to teach and those who are willing to be taught.
I choose this course because of an interest I had recently developed about American writers. Since my sudden fondness, I have read many "classic" works and am eager to read more. I have always been one to end the night with a few chapters of a good book...it's sort of a comfort, a nightcap if you will. One of my latest readings was I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou.
And, finally, I have read, understand and agree to the terms of the course syllabus, which I see as a contract to our course.
