Assignment 4 Ji-Hae Kim

The study of liberal arts enhances my life by giving me certain skills that I wouldn't get from math or science. Critical, analytical, and creative thinking and reading skills are important to have for college and the life beyond. I also learn more about different cultures when I study literature of different kinds. Art enhances my life by giving me the opportunity to think about the deeper aspects of life. My studies of the humanities help me appreciate more about the world I'm in and it connects me to times when I didn't exist yet. I learn more about philosophical things through music, art, and literature than I do through STEM subjects. My education wouldn't be as full without humanities. My character has been changed through my appreciation of literature and music. When I learn a piece of music or read a piece of literature, it makes more of an impression on me than when I learn a new math formula.
