I can't believe this semester has come and gone so quickly! Here is my reflection essay talking about how you use geography to be more successful in life.
Even if you don’t choose to pursue a career in geography, the skills you learn can help you be more successful in life. Something that is important to me is travel, and how else to better know the places you’re going to visit than studying geography. You’ll have a better understanding of where places are, what their culture is, and what language they speak through geography. Because think about it, you don’t want to go to France thinking they speak Spanish!
Something else geography can help you with is how to read a map. I had no idea how to read a map until I took a geography class. You’ll learn longitude and latitude, how to read a key, climates, vegetation and more. You are going to want to be able to know how to read a map if you are in a place you don’t know and need to find a business or friends house. You don’t want to pull over at every gas station you see asking for directions!
