Student interview for Place-Based WAC/WID writing instruction in Journalism, clip 9 of 13

Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: I don't think it has changed too much... Maybe just being more open to people and not judging people initially... When you first go into a country, you don't know how to act... In the Philippines, everybody is polite... [I see Hawaiʻi now] for what it can be... here, as a Filipino, I feel like I'm out of touch, a little bit... over there, they still have language, which is one of the more important things... I see [my major] a LOT differently... If you haven't really gone out into the field and actually seen the career in action... a major is a major... but going out into the field and applying everything... you realize how much you can gain, how much you can learn... how much potential Journalism has, how much potential the major has.
