Recapping your HUSC Experience: Find Your Why Assignment
Although, my scholastic journey to earn a college degree did not immediately begin
within the College of Human Sciences, I know today with upmost certainty that this is the
exactly where I am destined to be and to conquer. I have always felt that my purpose on this
earth was one of two things: to learn, grow, and spread my knowledge throughout to those in my
life or to help people in any way, shape, or form necessary to make this world a better place. As I
am sitting here now, only a few strides away from reaching the finish line, I believe that I have
found my why, and that is to use my ever-growing knowledge to help those around me who need
it the most. This of which can pertain to a variety of different areas such as healthcare,
development and design, rightful justice and law practice, human relations, etc., the choices are
endless within the realm of human sciences. Since I can remember, I have always loved
expressing my passion for the depths of creativity that goes into home development and design,
while also having an overwhelming hunger for the social and criminal justice system. Unlike
many, I have known what career paths and opportunities I wish to embark on in my future
however, the dreams and aspirations that I intend to make reality are far from conventional.
Obtaining a degree in Human Sciences only taught me that I can pursue any job venture I
am interested in, even if I do wish to become an interior designer while continuing scholastic
opportunities to potentially become a private investigator further down the road. These are two
extremely different business industries, and many would argue that the two just do not go
together but that being said, both of these dream careers are the sole purpose I have worked so
hard to achieve my bachelor's degree in Human Sciences. If it is one thing I have learned thus
far being in the College of Human Sciences, it is that I can use both my creative side and my

analytical, investigative mind all together at once because if anything, it strengthens my assets to
help me conquer any task at hand more efficiently than before.
I believe my own personal ideals discussed here relate to Simon Sinek's message behind
his TED Talk, "How great leaders inspire action", by choosing to follow your own why instead
of just following the same comprehensive plans that are made up of zero substance. Or in other
words, take something that inspires you and follow it to wherever you wish to go while inspiring
others along the way to do the same. Alike Sinek's approach to ultimate success, Meloncon and
Schreiber, examine the importance of capstone courses and their ability to instill not only
professional development strategies and understanding but also how they allow students to be
able to assess and interpret a given situation to
