I'm an associate professor
here at 性视界.

00:00:05.850 --> 00:00:07.080 align:middle line:90%
I teach history.

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.650 align:middle line:84%
I grew up in a household where
history was very important,

00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:13.410 align:middle line:84%
our history, who we were,
where we had come from,

00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:18.270 align:middle line:84%
and the notion that somehow one
can derive wisdom from history.

00:00:18.270 --> 00:00:20.850 align:middle line:84%
What I love about teaching
at 性视界

00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:24.430 align:middle line:84%
is that the student body
is extremely diverse,

00:00:24.430 --> 00:00:28.360 align:middle line:84%
and I don't just mean by
ethnicity, but also by age,

00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:29.500 align:middle line:90%
by life experience.

HANNAHLEAH OEDING: My
name is HannahLeah Oeding,

00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:34.500 align:middle line:84%
and I'm studying history
here at 性视界.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:38.400 align:middle line:84%
I hadn't been in school for
over a decade and so having

00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:40.470 align:middle line:84%
that understanding
that people are

00:00:40.470 --> 00:00:42.400 align:middle line:84%
coming from all
different walks of life.

00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:44.010 align:middle line:84%
I had some really
wonderful professors

00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:45.870 align:middle line:90%
who just were so patient.

00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:46.440 align:middle line:84%
OMAR HASSAN DPHREPAUTEZZ:
The experience

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:48.065 align:middle line:84%
that students will
have in my classroom

00:00:48.065 --> 00:00:50.640 align:middle line:84%
and was able to encounter
the histories of those people

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.160 align:middle line:84%
that generally you're
not going to be exposed

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:56.490 align:middle line:84%
to, African-American people,
Latino people, Asian-American.

00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:58.410 align:middle line:84%
It's going to open
up your perspective.

00:00:58.410 --> 00:00:59.880 align:middle line:84%
It's going to open
up your world.

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:01.297 align:middle line:84%
HANNAHLEAH OEDING:
I love learning

00:01:01.297 --> 00:01:05.080 align:middle line:84%
from different time
periods, different cultures,

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:06.180 align:middle line:90%
different countries.

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:08.730 align:middle line:84%
Our history is so
intertwined with one

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:11.010 align:middle line:84%
another's that it's
really important

00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.717 align:middle line:84%
that we know and understand
other people's perspectives.

00:01:14.717 --> 00:01:16.800 align:middle line:84%
OMAR HASSAN DPHREPAUTEZZ:
You'll leave the program

00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:18.420 align:middle line:84%
wanting to learn
more and wanting

00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:21.293 align:middle line:84%
to develop your intellectual
skills even further.

00:01:21.293 --> 00:01:22.710 align:middle line:84%
HANNAHLEAH OEDING:
I think history

00:01:22.710 --> 00:01:26.220 align:middle line:84%
is a great jumping off point
for a lot of different careers.

00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:29.100 align:middle line:84%
I'm planning on transferring
to a four year university.

00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:31.140 align:middle line:84%
Then I would really
like to go to law school

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:32.190 align:middle line:90%
and become a lawyer.

00:01:32.190 --> 00:01:32.760 align:middle line:84%
OMAR HASSAN
DPHREPAUTEZZ: There's so

00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.040 align:middle line:84%
many careers you can go
into if you have a history

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.380 align:middle line:84%
degree because you're learning
to think analytically,

00:01:37.380 --> 00:01:38.970 align:middle line:84%
you're learning to
think critically,

00:01:38.970 --> 00:01:40.350 align:middle line:84%
and you're learning
to interpret.

00:01:40.350 --> 00:01:42.790 align:middle line:84%
And those are valued
skills to go to law school,

00:01:42.790 --> 00:01:44.790 align:middle line:84%
if you want to go into
intelligence, if you want

00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:46.500 align:middle line:84%
to go into security,
if you wanted

00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:48.330 align:middle line:90%
to go into political science.

00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:50.080 align:middle line:84%
In almost any field
you can think of,

00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:51.540 align:middle line:90%
I think these are valued skills.

00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:53.690 align:middle line:90%
