Hello everyone, my name is Ryan Freeman and I am a senior here at Penn State. I am studying Recreation, Park, Tourism Management with my main focus in commercial recreation. I started my education at Penn State’s satellite campus in Hazelton, PA and two years later I transferred to main campus. To be honest, I am taking this course because I needed science credits but there was something about this class that really caught my eye. I really like the concept of learning about multiple ideas and theories on a broader level especially about time and space. Also I have heard from my classmates that the course got you thinking and the material was extremely interesting.
Science and I also have a love hate relationship. From the age of seven to fifteen I had my eyes set on becoming an astronaut and to study materials found in space. Once I realized how many requirements and hours of training were involve, I knew it was not the job for me. Science was one of my favorite subjects in grade school. I remember class was always hands on. I always had a fun learning the material and experimenting inside and out of the classroom. Unfortunately, I grew out of liking science because lessons started to become dull and there was less and less hands on activities. Once I came to Penn Sate the last option on my mind for a major was science. I love the subject but I could never major in it. Once I found RPTM I fell in love with the major and I would never change it for anything different.
