Hello my name is Kevin Gutierrez. I am currently taking Coun 141 because I think it is something that would help me better understand what I want to do with my major or if i want to continue my major in the future. If I could be anywhere in the world it would be New York. I went to New York this last Fall and it was amazing I would hopefully like to move there for work in the future maybe.

Hello my name is Hannah, i am taking counseling 141 as i have had many major chances. Ever since covid i took a step back and really second guessed what was it that i really wanted to do. I hope to find something i really like. If i could be anywhere right now with out money being an issue i feel like i would be in Mexico. I just came back not that long ago from a trip to visit my family. As i am a child of immigrant parents i always wondered what life would be like if they never came to the U.S. everything seems so calm and no hurry. Where here all life consist of for me is work, school, and traffic. As i would go back home to my motherland and explore the world.

My name is Leo Avila, I’m taking counseling 141 to better understand on which direction to go for my career. I am close to graduating this year with cis and I wanted to explore other IT paths or career paths in general. If money was not a problem, I guess I would travel. I never really thought of a question like that. I would go to Europe

and travel the world! Going to all the national parks in the whole world would be so amazing to me! I love nature so the only thing I can think of is traveling to national parks and sight seeing many beautiful places. I would also bring my little black pug with me.

I’m taking COUN 141 because I want to learn more about myself and how I can better navigate both academic and personal challenges. I also see it as a chance to develop skills that will help me stay focused, manage stress, and make the most of my time in college. I believe the class can give me practical tools for growth, both inside and outside the classroom.

If I could be anywhere in the world, I would choose to be in Japan. I’d want to go because I’m fascinated by the culture, history, and experiences I could immerse myself in.

Hello, I’m Mikayla Obra. Nice to meet you.

I’m in COUN 141 because I’ve hit a roadblock in my life recently and wasn’t even sure if I wanted to continue college. You could say that I’m hoping this class will at least help me consider my options. As for where I’d like to go if money wasn’t an issue, I’d probably still choose to stay at home and maybe go on more meet ups with friends.

Hello, my name is Caroline Caldwell.

I am taking this class because I’m at a point in my life where I’m torn between two majors: Administration of Justice and Cybersecurity. I have been taking classes in administration of justice, but I’m interested in finding out which courses I need to take for cybersecurity and exploring that major as well. I’m hoping this course will help me gain more knowledge about that and allow me to move forward in the career path I choose.

If money weren’t an issue, I’d live in a cozy house with my son, somewhere beautiful, peaceful, and full of opportunities for adventure. We’d travel together, exploring new places, trying new foods, experiencing different cultures, and creating memories to last a lifetime. I’d want to do everything possible in this world. Having a stable, lovely home and the freedom to experience life together would be the ultimate dream.

Good afternoon Professor Barajas and classmates! It is so nice to join this class. I would like to answer and share something about me in the post below:

1. Why are you taking Coun 141?

I take Coun 141 class because I got some struggles with my mind, and I want define and draw clearly for my brighter career in future. First of all, I feel concerned and worried with my decision since chose to chase higher education when I am too old to study. Plus, some people warned me that I coud not find a good job or high wage job even though I get higher education level or graduate with bachelor's degree in future due to I started from ESL learner. They said that they know somebody who got an accounting major Bachelor's Degree, but she/he could not find a job and then become a nail technician. I do not know that it is right or wrong information, but I feel so nervous. It is a terrible example that makes me disapointed. I also know what my disadvantages are, so I try multi times work-harder than normal people do to cover my downside. For those reasons, I am taking this class. I want to determine my education pathway and confidently convince myself that I am on the right way regardless opposite opinion.

2. If money weren't an obstacle and you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be and why?

It is great question for me because it is my wish. I think that if money weren't an obstacle for my life right now, I could travel to Maldivies, a fantastic island in Indian Ocean, with my hubby. Or another choice, I could travel to North Pole to see the aurora. Because my hubby likes ocean, he wishes he could go there before it is sunk as scientist's prediction. Besides, North Pole to enjoy aurora is my wish because it looks wonderful in night. I would a travel enthusiast if money were not my main concern.

Thank you so much for reading my post.

My name is Alex Ferandez, and I am a sophomore at Fullerton College.

1. I am taking this class because I am looking for a job that'll pay me a ton of money.

2. If money weren't an obstacle, I would visit The Netherlands every few months, as I have close family living there. I've already been there twice; I visited in 2015 and went back in 2018.

My name is Philip Martinez and 39 years old (soon to be 40 in February). I am an introvert, social hermit, and a "late waker" to life itself. Possibly an "Aspie". Once caregived my mother for 15 years up to 2019 when she finally passed on. That probably kept me from doing the things I wanted in my early adulthood.

1. Why are you taking Coun 141?

To help me identify what kind of job or career that I can get into, preferable fully remote/online, that matches my introverted nature. Due to me not always socializing (probably also due to my "Aspergers" nature), I find it would be hard to get a job in customer service in person.

2. If money weren't an obstacle and you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be and why?

I would probably visit some nations like the United Kingdom, Denmark, or Poland. I would like to see when kind of cultures they have, and how it compares to American cultures and lifestyles. I also would like go to Japan at least once, to experience the beautiful landscapes, shrines and temples of their countryside.

Hi everyone!

My name is Olivia (I'm your instructor)

1. Why are you taking Coun 141?

2. If money weren't an obstacle I would visit Paris and France once a year. It's one of my favorite places to visit and I've gone about 5 times.

I'll be teaching a study abroad in Paris, Summer 2027. Would you like to come with me?
