Blog #6 - Summary of "College: A Time Of Wonder " by Robert A. Bonfiglio
Bongfiglio, Robert A. “College: A Time of Wonder.” About Campus May-June 2006: 27-
29. 11 March. 2011. Print.
In this article Robert Bonfiglio strives to instill the notion of a right balance of how the campus atmosphere should be viewed. From his discourse, we understand that the wrong perspective based on two principal aspects, influences the way programs for first year students are structured. The first facet is that college was viewed as being for elites mainly. The second is about a magnified fear that is associated with college life especially as safety issues are concerned. Though Bongfiglio carefully stresses that he does not wish to under look the ever present tendency for danger that might be on college campuses, he particularly emphasis that it should not be the sole focus. He therefore suggests that campus and university should be viewed as a place of intellectual growth and the wonderful experiences that go with it, such as meeting other people and discovering one’s self. For him, these are so important and should not be tempered with no matter the ploy.

Finding a Research Topic, Starting is so difficult...
It is now taking me almost forever to decide on my research topic.
Though I have a long list of interests, I am held back from deciding on a research topic because in addition to a topic that interests me, I want to also research on something relevant and contemporary.
I first started wanting to opt more for technical themes, particularly the lives of those behind the technological bonanza we have today. I do not consider myself a history-inclined person but I just thought in my research I might take the opportunity to explore the lives of some important people of all times, their success, failures, inspirations and particularly the inspiration someone like me can draw from that. Who knows, this knowledge might help me be like them as far as technological and scientific discovery is concerned.
Then I changed my mind about that I am thinking of something more current like global warming.
This night I just made up my mind to handle the bull by the horns.
I am a little concerned about not being perfect and and about being boring even to myself.
However, I will definitely give it a try.
I also discovered that writing away to no one in particular was kind of wasting for me. However, when commenting on some one's else blog, I kind of get a feel to be communicating and ideas come to me more. I plan exploiting this avenue a little bit more.
