CRS in every day life!

Throughout this year I have learned that I can apply the teachings of the CRS program to my other classes. Last year I took a series of interesting classes that varied from Public Advocacy, to my favorite, Advanced Public Speaking. I had the opportunity to use the skills I leaned in those classes in a different setting; I was to lecture my classmates of Counseling 101. The assignment was to discuss the first couple chapters of "Tuesday's With Morrie", and may I add it is one of the most inspirational books I have read to date.

I decided to put my Advanced Public Speaking skills to practice and started a lecture titled "The Meaning of Life". I started off by stating that I was far from being a life coach or even a motivational speaker. I further encouraged my peers to look for the positive aspects of life rather than focusing on the negative aspects. It is my belief that all situations provide blessings, that is the reason why I chose to share the story of Randy Pausch.

Inspirational Individuals exist everywhere, at home, school, and even college, however, one does not need to be in a state of decay to make a difference. That was what I was trying to convey to my peers. I told them that one must strive for success with passion. I didn't learn this in class, in fact I leaned this right here, on the Internet. I realized this after I watched an inspiration speech by the late Randy Pausch.



In conclusion,I would just like to point out how CRS has helped me with other classes, whle conveyong to you the importance of not putting things off. Throughout my college career, I have adopted a quote, and now I am reading to share it with you.

"Being Good is not enough, when YOU dream of being Great."
