Story of the Web

The Internet.   The information tool is what I like to call it.   You can find just about anything online, and now two stories about the development of a young, but very wise mechanical engineer name Norma Marie Ceaser.   I chose to participate in this program because I liked the idea of sharing my experiences with fellow students which could possibly help them during their journey through Tech.   I have learned so much from stories told to me by upper classmen that I felt a desire to contribute.   My first story was written to acknowledge the necessary tools I needed to succeed at Tech, and this story is about the result of using my "tool box" to shape my life and how I view entering the next chapter in my life.   When I wrote my first story, I really didn't think about my information being on the web, until I wondered what would show up if I entered my name in a search. And "Norma Ceaser born and raised in Detroit, MI was the first item that showed up". (link to first story)   I was like, OK!   I hold my privacy dear to my heart, but this was different.   I had complete control over how much information the reader learned about my identity.   And as long as I can control what you learn about me, it's cool.   Sometimes, I can be very picky about whom I let in my circle but this was a way to force myself to open my circle and let whatever happens, happen.

 

Moving On

WOW, it's been 4 years. It doesn't really seem like it, but the facts say 4 years, and a Bachelors of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. It seems like yesterday, my grandpa was dropping me off at Wadsworth Hall with the butterflies in my stomach.   I was young, excited, and eager to begin another chapter in my book. And what an interesting chapter is has become. I have my share of successes as well as failures.   But what really matters is what I have learned from them all.   I'm 22 years old now and soon a graduate of MTU.   I have spent my entire life in school. It's going to be weird not having to go to class, and not being surrounded by my peers. What will I do? How will I adjust? What will I do with all my extra time? Where will I be? I ponder these among a dozen other questions through my mind each day.
