Pine Log

Issue date: 11/19/07 Section: Opinion

This article is meant not to attack the students of this campus that this applies to but simply to inform students of the need to "act the part." We are in an environment designed to educate and stimulate minds to sustain an economy with competent workers. To achieve such a goal we must take the responsibility to prepare ourselves for our future careers. To discard ideas and activities that may have a detrimental effect on our professional development would greatly increase our chances of success. To again reference those early SFA students, I encourage involvement in academic organizations that relate to student's majors, a practice which dominated that era. The dream was to work and to support society and generate income-it is the way of capitalists-the way of Americans. Education and progression should be the dominant goals for attending a university, and every opportunity to excel should be taken. Take pride in your school and your choice to earn a degree of higher education.

Organizations across campus offer a variety of services that can aid students in nearly every major and prepare them for their futures. It is the duty and responsibility of the student to take advantage of the services and organizations of this University and take a step toward the future.

Think long and hard about your future, and consider the ramifications, whether negative or positive, that my result from the decisions you make.

Seth Kinard is a journalism freshman from Abilene
