There was so much more critical thinking involved than I originally thought, and while I still have a long way to go, I believe they have improved. I knew going into this Honors College course that this would be a difficult class, but I was excited at the prospect. I told myself that I would work hard, and even if I didn\u2019t get an A on every assignment, I would still be okay. However, looking back, I wish I had spent a little more time on some of my projects, specifically the journals and presentation. I believe that if I had another chance to do them again, I would be able to think about them more critically, and ultimately achieve a higher score than I did originally.&nbsp;I should have been able to get higher scores. Overall, I am incredibly grateful that I was given the opportunity to take this class. I have learned so much about post-apocalyptic literature and literature in general. I can\u2019t wait to use my new found skills in my everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-3-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2019\/11\/The_Hunger_Games_Suzanne_Collins.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">The_Hunger_Games_Suzanne_Collins<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2019\/11\/The_Walking_Dead_Robert_Kirkman.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">The_Walking_Dead_Robert_Kirkman<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2019\/11\/The_Road_Cormac_McCarthy.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">The_Road_Cormac_McCarthy<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2019\/11\/Mad_Max_Fury_Road.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Mad_Max_Fury_Road<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2019\/11\/Waste_Lands_Short_Stories.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\"  data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">Waste_Lands_Short_Stories<br\/><\/a>\n<p class=\"wp-block-pdfemb-pdf-embedder-viewer\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:right\">PHILOSOPHY 228: Introduction to Ethics<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-723 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-10-at-1.06.19-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-10-at-1.06.19-PM.png 146w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-10-at-1.06.19-PM-768x973.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 146px) 100vw, 146px\" \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See the &#8216;Service Learning&#8217; tab to see what I did for my Philosophy course!<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ART HISTORY 127: Introduction to the Visual Arts<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To be up-front, I had no interest in this course. I registered for Introduction to Visual Arts because it fit into my schedule, and it was a designated honors course. I was never super artsy, and I always felt that I was a \u201cscience and math\u201d student. I thrive when there are clear-cut guidelines, and art never fit that mold for me. I was daunted that somebody couldn\u2019t just tell me, or teach me, how to be a great artist. As such, going into this class, I was entirely unenthused. But, from the first class, I was hooked.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I had no idea how intricate and symbolic artworks could be. The class was split into three sections: art vocabulary, media and techniques, and history. My favorite portion was the history of art. The other two sections provided a great foundation, but the historical aspect was what truly impressed me. I loved just how much one could learn from one statue, one picture; especially ancient cultures. Even though it was such a long time ago, before humans had even developed writing, aspects of their culture filter through. Specifically, our class spent a considerable amount of time on the Goddess of Willendorf. For so many of the topics we discussed in class, we could apply it to this statue: shape, texture, themes, medium, sculpture, ancient cultures. I loved travelling through time, seeing as art evolved into entirely new movements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a gen-ed, elective, totally out of both of my major and minor, this class was so valuable. It gave me a great appreciation for art, as well as skills that I would not have gained otherwise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision - Trailer - POV | PBS\" width=\"604\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X3oFF8P7hpE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY - Official Trailer\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0MYFOzP6Xns?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Exit Through The Gift Shop&quot; - Official Trailer [HD]\" width=\"604\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oHJBdDSTbLw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:right\">MANAGEMENT 340: Human Resource Management<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-723 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-10-at-1.06.19-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-10-at-1.06.19-PM.png 146w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/brianna-sheppard-leaders\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16956\/2020\/03\/Screen-Shot-2020-03-10-at-1.06.19-PM-768x973.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 146px) 100vw, 146px\" \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>See the &#8216;Leadership&#8217; tab to see what I did for my Capstone course!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old Dominion University&#8217;s Honors college prepares their students through community engagement, supplemental honor&#8217;s classes, \u00a0and first-hand experiences.
