I have “walked out”
After meeting with key faculty at the college I was attending, I turned in my final portfolio of 5 credits, and sent a revised final statement paper to my advisor in the mail. After completing 32 credits of coursework, I have decided to leave the boxes of academia. It was an easy decision after I was shown sample “position papers” adhering to APA standards, and learning that I could only present my colloquium (final presentation) in one lecture hall at the college. A lot of prescription. A lot of “business as usual” that I have taken myself so far away from in the past three years of inquiry and learning. Lots of other reasons also contributed to this decision.
If you are interested in reading my “final integration paper” for my last contract, it details my reasoning and rationale for walking out. I have intentionally taken out any mention of the college’s name. Click on this link or the image above to read my WalkOut statement!
