Fall semester Sophomore year has been nothing short of exciting, offering me new insight into topics that were new to me, giving me a more in depth look into potential career paths. For example, “Philosophy of the Person” exposed me to the teachings of Plato, St. Augustine, Socrates and many more. We had many class discussions tackling questions like “Is evil a necessity in the World?” I enjoyed debating topics in class and felt I gained a valuable skill in constructing arguments and finding supporting facts to help prove my point of view. My most challenging and rewarding class was “Thinking about Law and Economics,” it was conducted in a seminar style in which the students drove the discussions. We explored how economic theories apply to positive and normative analyses of laws, legal issues and legal systems. Introducing the idea of behavioral economics challenging the traditional neoclassical way of analyzing these issues. The class illustrated the use of behavioral economics in making decisions when it pertains to law and policy. This class was a great stepping stone in providing me some insight into the possibilities of what a major in economics can offer. This past semester, I joined BC Bigs, which is affiliated with Big Brother Big Sister. As a student mentor, I was paired up with a “Little,” and given the opportunity to develop a special bond and relationship. My Little’s name is Adrian, he is 7 years old and from Dorchester. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to meet his family and get the opportunity to spend time with him every weekend. He enjoys cheeseburgers and loves playing frisbee. I plan on continuing this experience during my time at Boston College. Overall, my experiences this year have allowed me to expand upon my passions as well as trying new things. I am very appreciative of all the support MVYouth has provided me. Thank you.
