Dr. Lubach's presentation was definitely one of the most interesting INT 95 one thus far! He is such a great public speaking and really knew how to approach his audience and tie us all in. My favorite part of Dr. Lubach's performance was his story regarding his friend and her adopted son, Benjamin. Being a journalist, broadcast journalist to be specific, is an occupation that I have considered in the past and hearing Dr. Lubach tell her story was insightful and informative. I can only imagine how incredible it must be for her to get to interview people from various fields and jobs, and see space rockets take off into the sky! Hearing Dr. Lubach talk about her friend made me wonder how she was able to work her way up there because being a journalist is a competitive field and many people do not make it financially. As of right now, I am confident that I want to major in biology and be a researcher in the future, but if I were to ever change my mind, I am curious to know that journalist's story! Oh, on another note--I did not hear the space rocket go off at 10 am the next day or feel the windows shaking, unfortunately!! 

Lastly, I thought the librarian's presentation was somewhat boring, to be perfectly honest. I am glad, however, that she showed us how to search the library catalog and look up information (I still have not forgotten to click "full text" if I am in a rush to find good articles and sources!) because I believe it is an essential skill to have in college. I look forward to being able to use the library to gather information with everything I learned from her.
That’s all for now.

Xoxo, Ariana
