    Although I am not certain of my specific career path, I hope setting aside time for graduate study will support me in solidifying my passions and finding my purpose. However, in essence I wish to support and facilitate the magic of museums. I am moved by the times I was struck with awe looking at a dinosaur replica as a child, excited by stone tools from ancient societies as a teenager, or inspired by an artist’s dynamic brushstrokes as an adult. I want to internalize these experiences and connections, using my work to recreate them for others. Allowing visitors to forge unique memories while inspiring wonder is my ultimate…

    I think that everything in the museum really worked for me, and would one day work for a high school history class. Kisha Tandy stated several times that the museum was being renovated to make the exhibits more intractable and engageable.

I learned an infinite amount on this field trip. I had never been in the Indiana State…
