Intro

Hi everyone- My names Gabby Schurr and I am a sophomore here at Shippensburg. I finally declared my major this semester. I decided on human communications hoping to work in human resources in the pharmaceutical field. I’m from Pottstown, Pa which is about 2 1/2 hours from Ship. In high school I played three sports; soccer, lacrosse, and basketball so they are all a few of my hobbies. I also like to hang with friends, go to the beach, and to shop. I had Professor Shannon last year in WYFS and really enjoyed her class, so I decided to take her again to complete some more of my gen-eds. I am not a big reader but the last book I read was the tear-jerker Dear John, and after seeing the movie I defiantly preferred the book. In this class I hope to find some diversity in literature and read stories on other people's life along with the struggles they overcome due to cultural difference. I feel like this class will be a real eye opener in how other societies live. When I think of the term cultural diversity I think of the differences people share when it comes to their way of life and customs. A lot of cultures do not have the freedoms that we do, and I hope reading novels based on cultural diversity will give me a better understanding of this topic.
