Question 1: The “academic” and “personal” can intermingle with one another in different ways. I believe that the majority of time that this happens is during ones history class or english class. For history, someone could be from a different country and have relatives that fought and died in wars or was an unfortunate casualty. But then the teacher/professor goes over that event and doesn’t go into depth about it and misses out on key event. Then that person would have that personal connection due to their affiliation with their family members that were in that event. For english class one could easily have a personal connection within the class. If there was assigned a paper that the class had to reflect on there life or a certain part of their life, what if someone had a very depressing and emotional background? What if they had a deep, meaningful but also a very inspiring story? That is when “personal” and “academics” can become one. My school work hasn’t really been personal just yet but this next essay is suppose to reflect back and touch up on your personal side.
