Ü Ü Ü Ü Ü Ü Ü Ü Ü ’ › : Just prior to coming here, I had made up my mind
I wanted to be an English teacher in the high school, a high school English teacher, and
I had a couple options upon graduating from my community college to what school I wanted
to go to. I have friends who have graduated Hofstra and they praised it highly, and I
was very impressed when I came here for the interview for admissions, how they really
seemed to care about me as a person. What has impressed me most here at Hofstra is the
faculty. The faculty, you know, they always say that “our doors are always open” and
that is an understatement because, I’ve had times, because I work full time and I’m
a single parent, and sometimes the office hours didn’t really work for me, and I would
have to speak to my professor about something. I would email them or talk to them after class,
they said “ Just tell me when you can come,” and they would be there, they would be waiting
for me. It isn’t just about helping you write a paper. It isn’t just about helping
you understand a work of literature, it’s about you as a person, about finding your
inner voice and having you articulate that voice. Being able to express yourself means
a lot to the faculty here. Another one of the factors in my decision to come to Hofstra
was the realization that, at my age, I’m 50 years old, I’m really going to have one
chance at this, of getting my undergraduate degree, and I had to make a decision to pick
the school I thought would work for me and work with me and Hofstra has done that. I
am an American Literature Major, and that is one of the three majors on campus, and
I was able to take a class as an elective in the other two disciplines that are part
of the English Department here, and I had the same experience, that they do emphasize
writing and making you a better writer, doing their best to make you the best writer you
can be. And I have seen in my own writing a marked improvement. My main passion, but
I have a deep passion for music and art and video, and I was impressed that here at Hofstra,
when I had ideas, so when I was writing a paper on Native American studies, I’m really
interested in the initial contact between Europe and the American Indians, or the Native
American Indians. That point in time fascinates me. And when I took Native Studies with Dr.Isca
Alter, my first paper, she let me write on the film “Black Rope,” and I wanted to
incorporate video, but I thought about it, and I’d rather just use still images and
use them as art to enhance my paper, and she said “Absolutely fantastic, I’d love to
see what you have in mind.” I did it, and I was very impressed with what I did, but
she was even more impressed with what I did. But it was her allowing me to do that, use
my creative impulses to enhance my paper. And that’s what they do here at Hofstra;
they want you to be creative, they want you to express your inner voice. Getting a degree
in English can help you in so many facets in the professional world. It isn’t just
becoming an English teacher or becoming a creative writer, which are great professions
in it of themselves, but it’s also in the business world. If you have to get up and
speak in front of a room full of people, you know, having at least taken some English classes
where you become a better writer-when you become a better reader, you become a better
writer. When you become a better writer, you become a better speaker because you’re able
to articulate your ideas more clearly and more concisely. At Hofstra, I can guarantee
you two things: you will become a better writer and your voice will be heard.
