Dear Scheurer,
You walked into this summer program with no idea
what to expect. Honestly, it started out rough. Registration was a pain and class
schedules were disorganized. Very quickly though, things became situated, and
you began to really like your classes. Your goals for this program were to make
friends, get credits and, learn the campus and you easily accomplished all
three. Along the way you learned techniques and facts that can help you in your
future, not only for college, but for life. Personal Well-being with Dr. Sia
was a very interesting class. She encouraged you to practice what you learn in
class at home. She taught us Mindplay and RAFTing techniques to help cope with
stress as well as Tai Chi, (which is definitely not as easy as it looks). Additionally,
she introduced us to the myfitnesspal app to help track what we eat and when we
exercise. She was really committed to making our futures as healthy and happy
as possible.
In Professor Bost’s Do The Write Thing! course, you learn that there is so much more to
writing than you thought in high school. For example, it is no longer the
rhetorical triangle featuring ethos, pathos and logos. It is more like the
rhetorical square when we add kairos into the mix.
Still, for ten days you stayed outside of your
comfort zone and learned so many things along the way. It was an amazing experience.
Well, logos, ethos, and pathos are still a "triangle" since they all involve different APPEALS to an audience. Kairos is about whether it's the time and place for particular argument.
