For my second event I attended the Rhode Island College Open House on Saturday November 8 2014. The college open house is help for potential students to come and see the school and talk to different people form different majors. For the Youth Development major there was about 10 students that showed up during the 3-4 hours. We spoke with about 10 different potential students about the major and if it was a correct choice for them. The main question that we got asked a lot was What is YDEV? And this is where our elevator speeches were very helpful. I also brought my son with me to this event as well. I call him our little mascot!!!!
I believe that the open house is connected to the topic of Identity. Trying to find who you are and where you belong. Trying to also figure out and decide what you want your career to be for the rest of your life is a very big decisions. To me, this is the biggest decision you have to make in your life. I never attended the open house when I applied, seeing the event and what its about, I wish I had. I wish I was there when it first started cause that's when the most people were there, but when I was there it kind of died down a lot.
