The Sunni Horizon

I am taking a Business class in Managerial and Behavioral Process. I must honestly say that it is the best class that I am currently in. I feel that I am privilege to have to coolest teacher in the world. I was skeptical as to how this class would be and the amount of work that would be requested of me but I was wrong in the best way ever. She gives of assignments that challenge us in our thinking process and it is not meaningless but valuable in every way. I enjoy a class that challenges me to learn the task at hand but also teach me how the information learned can apply to my life in a practical way. I enjoy being in a setting when I know that the professor cares about the students and encourages the students to reach their full potential. I believe that unfortunately we often here of unethical decisions being made by teachers who make bad decisions with their students. Laura Williams also known as Laura Frisbee teaches this class and she is a great speaker and I am literally captivated. I learn life lessons in this class along with how to manage the life of a business.

I learned today in class about leadership. She said that “in order to be able to affectively lead people we must first be able to lead ourselves first.” This seems pretty simple but this had shown me that the things that I learn should be applied to me first and allow them to take affect in my life and this will naturally empower me to be a witness to the things I preach and others will take notice.

I have a good class that I feel also understands how valuable this information is. She tells us numerous stories of situations that she has encountered with having to make ethical decisions, being disciplined, and being able to cope with our decisions that we make whether they are good or bad decisions. Professor Williams sees her students as more then just students but as business people in training. In lecture I feel engaged in the conversation and actually take notes on different lessons that she has learned and the wisdom that she has gained from her experiences. I am sad that this class will be ending soon but this class and Professor will never be forgotten. I recommend everyone to take a class with this professor.

here is a picture of who she is and a brief summary. Enjoy!

Is there any professors that you feel should be acknowledged for their commitment to the students. I am pretty sure there are more out their…..lets hear what your experience has been like….

Today I was walking to class, and I began to reminisce  on  my spring break  on how much I enjoyed the trip but noticed how fast it went by. I went to Miami for a couple days then to the Bahamas for 5 days and stopped in Naples Florida to take in the last bit of sun in before I returned to this great Toledo weather. It seems as if once spring break was over, and school had begun, the days seems to be going by so fast. I have has two exams a week and homework is what I breathe now. I have never felt so consumed in my work then now. Even though some may see my situation as stressful, I have discovered that as I keep my mind on finishing classes then my days don’t seem so hard.

Random Thought:

There seems to be many things happening on campus lately like:

-Diversity Week Coming up

-Rocket Launch Coming up

-International Dinner in SU Auditorium

-UT Running Club April 6th

- First Year Uncut Imovie UncuT in Doermann Theater

-Spaghetti Dinner on April 9th in Ihouse

- Songfest

-Dance Marathon

….with this in mind, if you are looking for something to do or eat, then consider this.

What plans do you have  coming up….I would like to know.
