Ethics Theories Table

When I began thinking about enrolling into college, I was sitting in my office at work, contemplating whether I should make the phone call. In my younger years, when people would ask me if I was in school, I would become irate because I thought that was not the only thing important in people’s lives. Now, I think differently and have become that person who asks others if they are in school! Being in college has helped me grow; I believe and think differently, now. Previously, I would jump to conclusions about certain things, or not think before doing things or speaking. School has taught me to be a better thinker and I believe I have learned many things, regardless of the books I read or papers I write. School is much more than just papers or reading; it is collaboration, learning from others, and enhancing skills.

In other words, my research skills have improved tremendously since starting school. Presently, when I research, I do not believe the first thing I read; I assure and verify content matter so that I do not make errors.
