I’m working on a business project and need guidance to help me learn.
– Take a moment to read Oliver’s poem. In this project, you will conduct research to decide that kind of career you would like to pursue after graduation and then answer a question inspired by A Summer’s Day, “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?”
– Your project will combine academic and career exploration to help you select a major and develop a specific goal. After taking a self-assessment to identify target careers related to your personality, skills, and values, you will practice networking skills.
– After the research, you will write a short essay that answer the question posted in “The Summer Day “Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down— who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
