Introduction
Hello my name is Peter Leiner. I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. When the time came to choose universities UCF stood out above the rest because of three reasons. The first was location it was away from home but still a days car ride. The second reason was the high quality of education I knew I would receive from UCF. The final reason was because my brother attended UCF and had only good to speak of it. I chose IDS as my major because it gave me the chance to explore various fields of study while still earning credits towards my degree. I hope to continue my education after I graduate at Nova Southeastern Law School where I plan on studying Contractual Law. For right now I have three classes left and I am just trying to enjoy my last semester at UCF.

Getting to Know Me
ReplyDeleteHey how are you doing? My name is Peter Leiner, I am 23 years old and I am currently in my last semester at the University of Central Florida. I enjoy watching sports as well as playing them. I live life with the idea that if you keep smiling and have a positive outlook nothing can ever be that bad.
Currently in the IDS program I have a study area of humanities and political science with a minor in education. This program is one that lets you seek out multiple areas of interest rather then a certain subject area and spread your focus. In doing this I believe the program allows you to diversify and become a more unique and well rounded worker. While it does have some drawbacks like any major would I believe the advantages weigh heavier. Along with being able to diversify your education I believe as a student you gain a better perspective of the thoughts of different schools. While I was in the school of education it was all about focusing on the feelings and emotional responses students were giving you. I learned how to stand and talk in front of these students and read there body language. This is a skill that will always be useful. In my history courses I learned how to really read and analyze text. I became a master of research as well as gained the ability to use the internet for more then fun. In humanities I gained a better look on people in general. Without this program I would have only gained one of these skills.
