Re: BE INSPRIRED!Watch this video of a great man

Yeaah.. I can attest to that a little.. I graduated from the school in 1995 so naturally I can't speak for what;s going on there now ..but the Chinese students were on top of their game and you had a few &quot;loungers&quot; around campus that didn't take their education seriously. But I remember no one would dare mek Dr. Hrobowski ketch dem a iggle pan campus. He went as far as making sure the black organizations (such as ours) were paying less emphasis on parties and more emphasis on cross cultural diversity and learning.

The thing about this man is that he went all out to prepare us for the working world. Back then we didn't have this kind of economy to worry about so the enthusiasm was there...even though some took things for granted and did not work as hard.

BTW the young lady I spoke about who died on 911 (Angie Houtz) was in my graduating class... she was one such students who was mentored my Dr. Hrobowski and landed a great job in the Navy as a researcher right out of school ..thanks to his hands on internship program he developed at UMBC.

I can't say enough about him .. fi real. I have no doubt that I am stirring my little one to study at UMBC when that time comes

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Wahalla</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I dont think he tells the whole story that he should... That the chinese are studying twice as hard as yanki and they each student is competeing against each other for jobs and resources....

Funny enough I like the idea of chess being more important than yanki football...But then I have gone to watch chess competitions!

and I think my son who is 8 would be suited to that enviroment! I will show hiom that film....He likes science and problem solving. I like that there is the possibility that there are start ups on the campus... where students can work...

both Rich D and I come from an enviroment where smart kids did hard science.... the not so smart did easy arts...... </div></div>

Now mi si mi too ole fi u wendy...

I meant Chinese in China....

I tell my children that they have it hard they are competing against the chinese and indians not just the yanki and the britz..... At primary school stage the asians in asia doing 8-12 hours a day, they are being hot housed...

And in order to compete they better be quality not merely quantity or uliterian education...So their intrests must be wide, they have soft skills.. and they have to be at base competence...that winners are not nessesaryily those who are smartest but those who play the game smartest....My daughter gets it for the last two years .. My son finds school a little to easy not challenging enough and the stuff they are doing boring. ( I must admit I got to agree with him) . I think he got it last week.. but we will be sure...

Still I looked at a link and it is refeshing that in the US that the hard science students are the high earners...

Re: BE INSPRIRED!Watch this video of a great man

u said Meyerhoff scholarship was the goal of minority students.. I was pointing out that on a international basis white people are a minority!


I was trying to say that u mistook my reference to chinese as being Asian Yankis....

Asian yankis are Yankis... so are black united states citzens.. they are African American yankis.. Kanadians are yankis as well.. northern Yankis... people from the southern states of the united states are Southern Yankis.....only non yankis in the united states are &quot;native americans&quot; the first peoples....
