Panel and Advising

1) When the first year office students came they talked about their experiences at Salem State. One of them was a geography major so I asked her if she had the professor that I liked and she said she did. They also talked about what it was like being an RA which was interesting. They said that succeeding in college also depended on getting help when you need it which I have started doing.

2) Justin said for advising to before seeing your advisor you should have your classes picked out on the Degree Tracker. That was helpful to know because I probably would have shown up to my advisor without my classes picked out.

3) had trouble posting a picture

Mini Response # 2

1) Some of the ways you can develop a sense of place are:

Questioning: going to a place and asking important questions that others might hear and realize they should recognize that place more.

Telling Stories: stories are told to teach life lessons, by selecting a location and creating a teaching story that is connected to the place you are at

Orienting To a Place: select something outdoors and examine it carefully, look at it from four different directions

2) For developing a sense of place in Salem, I went downtown and went to the Dunkin Donuts on Washington Street. I noticed the sounds of toasters and coffee makers while I sipped my iced coffee enjoying the taste of it.

3)  I haven't done anything in the article for developing a sense of place in Salem yet.

4)  I would like to go to a place and asking questions that others might realize they should appreciate that place more. I might go to the park near the Salem Witch Museum.

5) I'm afraid to stay in the present because I have had trouble staying in the present in the past.

6) I have no interest in trying to listen to water because it wouldn't make sense that you would hear english words through water.

Farmer's Market Reflection 10/13

1) I met with Chris Grant, the owner of Grant Family Farm. I did not meet anyone else.
2) It was interesting that Chris was interested in farming since he was a kid. He started selling vegetables and pumpkins on the road side when he was 14. It's interesting too because most people don't actually have the job they say they will as a kid, but Chris did.
3)


  1. What made you want to start a farming business?
  2. Do you like what you do?
  3. Were you always interested in farming when you were a kid?\
  4. How much business do you usually get annually?
  5. Do you like the area you live and work in?

1) Chris was always into farming as a kid so he wanted to start a business
2) Chris does like what he does.
3) Chris was always interested in farming
4) He usually gets a lot 
5) He does 




From this experience I realized that some people actually do the profession they want to as a kid. I also realized that the Farmer's Market gets a lot of business. This contributed to my sense of place because I saw that some people like Grant don't need to live and work in an urban area.
