So don’t be afraid to dream big. Since this is my last year in school‚ I have been asked frequently on what I want to do later in life.

The article I read was “How My Parents Put the Lie to Mad Men” by Robin Hardman. The article was about Hardman’s family life growing up. While she did not say what year‚ she referred to it as the Mad Men time‚ so I would say in the 60s. What was unique about her family was that both her parents worked. This was unusual for this time because most mothers stayed at home with the kids while the father was the breadwinner. Her mother went to college and found an interest in early childhood development

“Only Connect…” The Goals of a Liberal Education William Cronon What does it mean to be a liberally educated person? It seems such a simple question‚ especially given the frequency with which colleges and universities genuflect toward this wellworn phrase as the central icon of their institutional missions.
