SENIORS: We discussed the concept of intellectualism; what does it mean to be an intellectual, and could negative connotations of that word be keeping you from considering college as part of your future life-path? Here is a link to the article. As you read, stop from time to time to write down your thoughts: questions, agreements, disagreements, observations, ideas, comments, stories, things the text reminds you of--whatever. Put those thoughts in your notebook under the title Intellectualism Stop and Jots.
