Super Human Moments: What Did I Get Myself Into?
Everyone has had them: moments when things have gone wrong partly because of our own lack of experience or perspective.  In this new series of posts, I'm asking members of the UMBC community to reflect on their own 'super human moments.'

Name: Mitch Case

Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A: Director of Communications for College Democrats, USDemocrazy blogger, Creative Services intern, and Assistant Director of Public Relations for SGA

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?

A: I blog, post, plan, and organize for SGA, College Democrats, and USDemocrazy.net

Q: What title would you give your Super Human Moment?

A: "What did I get myself into?"

Q: What happened?

A: Last year I transfered to UMBC, and in hopes to be more involved I joined the Student Government Association.  I started off as a blogger but towards the end of the semester I was asked to take on some additional responsibility, specifically being the lead on Project Black and Gold.  At the time, I was a little unsure of the requirements of the project...I agreed nonetheless.  In the coming weeks I found out exactly what I signed up for and asked "what did I get myself into?"

The end goal of the project was to install black and gold colored banners around campus to inspire school spirit.  It turned out that Project Black and Gold was the latest incarnation of a project which had been years in the making and had failed at least two times before.  Now it was up to me to make sure it didn't go down hill yet again.  I found myself working with other students, administrators, an outside company, and facilities' staff to guarantee the success of the project.

To me, the hardest part of the process was the interaction with so many new people.  I find myself to be a quiet person and enjoy working behind the scenes.  In this case, standing on the sidelines wasn't an option so I had to embrace my role.  I learned that if needed, I could take the lead and reach out to necessary people.  After some nervousness, frustration, and a whole lot of new faces the banners were installed prior to Fall 2010.

Q: How have you applied what you learned?

A: This experience opened me up to a lot of new opportunities and just as many new faces.  I'm less hesitant to reach out to the necessary people in dealing with projects and other tasks.  It is experience I can use almost anywhere in my life whether inside or outside of the classroom.

Q: Do you have any advice you can pass along to others?

A: I'd encourage others who are introverted to reach out when it is necessary.  There are times when you won't be able to get things done if you don't speak up.

I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.

Name: Shin-Yee Yu

Hometown: Taipei, Taiwan

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: 4 semesters

Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A: Sondheim Public Affairs Scholar, SGA Judge Advocate, Vice-Delegation Chairperson for Maryland Student Legislature, Tutor for the Learning Resource Center, OXFAM, Woolie

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus? 

A: I am involved in different organizations to learn more about myself and others.

Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?

A: I enjoy all of them! I really love all the organizations I am involved in. But most of all I like meeting interesting and intelligent people through these organizations. 

Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?

A: I have learned opportunities are always available for you at UMBC. You just have to have the courage to attempt it. In high school, talking to people I didn’t know or being involved in different activities terrified me. I definitely wanted college to be a different experience. I came into UMBC with an open attitude, wanting to meet people and be involved in everything. And because of the organizations and activities I have been involved in I have had so many meaningful experiences and met so many wonderful people. UMBC is a great place for stretching your limits and finding yourself.

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A: Hello Kitty. When I was little, my dad stood in a long line to buy me limited editions of Hello Kitty dolls for my birthday. It was one of the best gifts I have every gotten. I also had a Hello Kitty watch and alarm clock which I loved. Basically, I am a Hello Kitty fanatic. But I don’t like cats that much.

Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?

A: UMBC is always full of people. It is very difficult to have alone time, especially if you live in a dormitory. Whenever I need some alone time, I like to escape to the library. On the third floor of the library, there is a little corner with a comfy couch. I like to sit there and do my homework or just relax with my music. It’s a nice place to hear my own thoughts.

Near the end of my second year in graduate school, I spent a sunny afternoon in Boston at the city’s Earth Day celebration.  I bought something to eat from a street vendor: maybe a gyro sandwich or funnel cake.  Whatever it was, it made me feel bloated and disgusting.  I had been thinking for a while that it was time to try to lose some of the weight I had put on over the previous few years, but had never mustered enough motivation to get started.  That day I resolved to make some changes that would take off a few pounds and help me feel healthier.

I did a little reading about nutrition and learned a few new things, but mainly confirmed what I’d been hearing but ignoring for years.  Immediately I stopped eating some of the most damaging staples of my diet: the empty calories, fried foods and fatty meats.  And within four or five months, without making a huge effort, I lost nearly 30 pounds and felt a thousand times better.

What shocked me most about my physical transformation was that it proved that what I ate actually did affect my health.  It was a truth that I had “known” without really knowing at all.  It was as though the information had been stored in an external hard drive that had never been plugged into a PC.  Only life experience, and reflection on the meaning of that experience, made the connection possible for me.  I’ve been paying attention to my food choices ever since.

I think a lot of what each of us “knows” is like my pre-Earth Day knowledge of nutrition.  We have the data but not the connection; we know without really knowing.  I see evidence of this around campus all the time.  We know that pulling all-nighters is unlikely to improve the overall quality of our academic work, but we don’t really know.  We know that getting involved in campus activities and sticking around on the weekends would make us happier in the long run, but we don’t really know.  We know that reckless posts in online forums can have negative consequences for ourselves and others, but we don’t really know. 

Maybe there’s no alternative to learning some of these things the hard way.  I’ve often needed the equivalent of a bad meal on a hot day to motivate me to choose a healthier path.  But my experience also tells me that it’s possible to turn some “knowledge” into real knowledge by experimenting with healthier behaviors, paying close attention to the results, and absorbing the lessons they imply.

A: That it doesn't matter who you are, where your from and how much money you have, if you don't put the work in and go above and beyond what is just expected of you in class you won't achieve your full potential.

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A: Education (maybe one day it will be free)...lol, the ravens, and lacrosse

Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?

A: Going to strive would be my story, originally going in I didn't know what to expect and if I would even like the people that were there. After one week with each and every person there though I can stand here and say I don't know what I would do if I didn't meet each and every one of them. A bond unlike any other was made there and I am proud to say that everyone of those "STRIVERS" is looked upon as my second family.

Hartsky
I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.

Name: Lauren M. Hartsky

Hometown: Warwick, Cecil County, Maryland

Q: How long have you been at UMBC?

A: 4 years (I'm a graduating senior!)

Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?

A: I'm a Resident Assistant, the National Residence Hall Honorary Chapter President, and the Resident Student Association Director of Service and Recognition

Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus? 

A: An advocate for challenging the status quo

Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?

A: When I can make someone's day by recognizing them with a simple smile and hello 

Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?

A: Nothing is impossible if you are willing to sacrifice and put your heart into everything that you do...you will succeed

Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"

A: Hanging out on Saturday night with my best friends for hours

Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?

A: I still remember "Outtakes" in the Dining Hall being called the "spot".  It was literally the size of a walk in closet and you had just enough room to walk shoulder to shoulder.  On Sunday nights, the line would be so long it was outside the door as people used their late night meals.  I miss the "spot" because it had so much character and everyone called it that.  It seems strange to me to hear residents called it "outtakes" now, it just isn't the same.
