Who Makes The Best Stereo Receivers

Letter to Prof

I wanted to apologize for my unusual emotion. To be honest I think I'm more surprised at how you can be is the first time that tears are not to love. Honestly i would have expected for the death of a loved one or for an event eminently moving, and yet in all those cases have always been a rock, even if we are too cold. So I felt encouraged to investigate the causes of an event as unpredictable and unexpected by me first.


Certainly the reason can not be found in the results of an examination: no matter how important I am usually not very effective. Even death in the end is something very serious and important, Yet the soldiers, to force it under the eyes, no longer in effect. You have surely caught the subtle similarities and have realized that not a brilliant student. In fact, in the year when I graduate I should find myself with less than 15 exams. The first idea that a professor is usually done in these cases is that of a possible problem with the learning of certain subjects, but I honestly believe that the real causes are far more veiled and problems related to motivation and approach to the study. I do not believe to be a genius and I met people more clever than me, but I do not think I miss what it takes for certain topics. I do not say it presumptuously, but because I believe that behind us is a passion, and where there a passion anything is possible.


At this point may already have bored, I understand. However I will continue talking to some 'me and my passions, were even used to throw out some' waste. Two years after the first kiss on the lips. Someone could easily guess that I would be inclined to have many passions, but in these cases there usually is limited to pictures. In second grade when, obsessed by wanting to eliminate friction with dreaming eyes of a child perpetual motion, I invented the monorail. I also did a project with crayons for the cross section of the mushroom-shaped magnetic track, too bad that shortly after I discovered that the Japanese had preceded me; who knows maybe if he had gone differently today ATAC work better. In fifth grade I found on an old 486 laptop to my mother, a program that attracted me for its blue background: QBASIC. So I began to realize small mathematical algorithms for the most part, fall in love and started planning for her to have no boundaries and give you the freedom to make whatever pops into your mind. In middle school I was a model pupil and bright with good grades, half nerd. In eighth grade I was angry with the math teacher because he would not tell me how to find the volume of a sphere. I taught high school math teacher in the Pascal, which had obvious gaps in the field. In fact the upper third on I started to go worse and worse in math, a subject that bored once loved. In return, my skills improved steadily. E. .. I have done and will always do the "technical slave" to friends and relatives.


science and computer science are not unique, however, my passions, for example, I have always loved writing. In elementary school I started writing poems, and I have not stopped. I won several national literary awards, with the continued involvement of my Italian teacher, more capable than the math ... more recently I am passionate about graphic design from the perspective of both aesthetic and functional, as well as photography, reaching the achievement of some small projects and some photo exhibitions.


When I go to university one of the few to be undecided between computer engineering and letters ... As you know my choice fell on the first option, mainly because I was told it was a field where it was necessary to prepare adequately, while my other passions could also continue in a self-taught. Certainly, even a predictable view of the possibility of work had its weight ... at the bottom but it is also true of another thing: I have very little memory notional and do not like to read too long, and pass exams consist of thick book of ancient history would have been impossible for me, while technical subjects is important to understand how something works in order to become masters of the concept and not to memorize the same. In part I was right: On some tests I admit that little or no studying, using intuition and the result of years of passion, I had no problems to get votes above the 25. The counterpart was the continuing failures to those tests or requiring large memory, or a disciplined execution of exercises of mountains terribly disconnected from real life, and therefore not very exciting. This is not the case for his subject, my speech is very general.


So over time I found myself completely unmotivated and mostly I have come to detest things that I loved, just because I do layer is shown a face, in my opinion misleading, I did not like. In fact the reality that I saw in my college experience, is that of a wild-all combined with the systematic Skimming. In my little I think the ultimate goal of education is to create culture and not to create an elite class of machinery for the study through direct or indirect motivation of those who have a different type of learning. In fact each has its own type of learning is completely different from that of others, we can not bring the right to choose a universal, much more questionable. But the serious thing is that most students disciplianti, able to adapt to this scheme, artificial learning, but at what cost? At the cost of their happiness. Everyone complains about the study, and it is so common that I started thinking it was normal, which is necessary to live and suffer a lot too. In fact, this reality in this country is a constant, not only in the study, but also in work. But I am among the lucky ones who have had the chance to travel enough in life and I discovered that reality is not so everywhere. In fact, if I have absolutely decided to graduate to specialize in one of the countries that most appeal to me for value and quality of life in Scandinavia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. In fact right now I'm so unmotivated that I also inquired about the possibility of ending up too far away from here three years, but it is not easy. It is not a flight towards Eden, which almost certainly could disappoint in the end, but I think when you're unhappy with one or more aspects of your life, you change it. You can not passively submit to it: I would like to do other things in life than to try to graduate. If I get distracted when studying play tetris probably would not have written all this, the problem is that often I get distracted when I start to study other things which often cover just the computer. Must mean something, or at least I hope so. How would I


education I? As Antoine de Saint-Exupery said, "If you want to build a boat, do not gather men to cut wood, divide the tasks and give orders, but teach them the longing for the sea, vast and infinite." This sentence is worth a lot of teaching manuals and more. As I said I'm very disciplined, and have little memory, a disaster as a student then. But when I get passionate about something, not just the memory and the master, but do not suffer from studying it. I suppose then that those who have to worry primarily instructs you to create that interest. Once his work is that, sometimes, it may already be over: swallow the program students have just come home! How to give birth interest? Good question. The solutions adopted, which seem to work best are basically two: Teaching-oriented problem solving and teamwork on realistic and challenging environment that encourages brainstorming. The first implementation is quite simple, the second is more complex, because it is necessary that teachers and students are actually on the same level and as many try it, it is easy to feel on a par with those who must judge. This is a structural problem, some have tried to resolve it with the abolition of the concept of examination and "lesson" and yardsticks by introducing more dynamic and less invasive. Others have thought to use of external examiners and unknown, that fact does not examine you, but also the work of the professor, who then inevitably frame, and he in turn will provide a framework, as an ally. In addition to facilitate the brainstorming I think it is vital to the concept of campus life with people you share interests inevitably feeds them and leads them to a higher level. There is much more to say, but I do not want a treatise on the teaching, partly because I do not have sufficient knowledge to have a say.


to work the question changes slightly. All the most successful multinational companies often use these same values \u200b\u200bto make the most of their employees. In fact, whenever you perceive the work as an obligation and not as a pleasure, you're unhappy. The unhappiness is not only a psychological problem, but also economic: workers and students make little unhappy.


If they agree with me on some of the points raised, please do not answer me with the usual "no money", I know that already. But you know and maybe someone else share these thoughts is enough. It makes me a glimpse of a glimmer of hope for this country and, more generally, for some puckers that capitalism often carries.


Thinking about what I write is often flashed this picture: a plumber whose sweat evaporates paid instantly met in admiring his finished work, free of burrs and in its way a masterpiece of aesthetics and functionality.
I did not know how to put it in my rant but I did not want to exclude from it.




I hope not to have them stolen precious time
cordially
Andrea.
