Introduction

In my interaction with the world as an Individual, this far I have excelled with regards to the merits surrounding my personality can all get attributed to my study of Liberal Arts. I can never regret any action that I have undertaken, to pursue this discipline with much enthusiasm. I must confess that my educational background does not merit a lot since I have never seen the door of a college. Consequently, I have tried through thick and thin and now I have been employed. Alternatively, I decided to pursue some studies in Liberal Arts.

My changed perceptions and thoughts of my world view

All my attributes including my flexible thinking skills and acceptance of a variety of people and new ideas can get traced back to the liberal sciences that I studied. Consequently, my career has been enhanced and my scope of worldview has undergone a complete metamorphosis which makes me an excellent character in many ways. I can consider myself as a good person. I view the materials from the internet and TV through a positive angle and these have just complemented my personal attributes.

My changed Reading habits

First, I am passionate about reading various materials on different disciplines and themes. Indeed, I do not see myself quitting this habit, as studying Liberal Arts has enhanced my world view. I study quite often, and my library is full of a collection of the different materials, journals, magazines, and book. The systematic way of reading I have gained has not only enhanced my wisdom and beliefs, but it has also taught me much about how to learn. Consequently, this has contributed to a great improvement in my work performance.

My Family members

The first cycle that has noted my positive changes are my closest acquaintances, that is my family. In every step, I pursue, they are more proud of me than ever. Typically, my argument, judgment and reasoning have become enhanced and the only medium that has enabled me to obtain all these is the Liberal Arts as stated by Fung & Howe (2012). My family members always commented positively on the way I approach my life decisions. Indeed, after winning over my family it has become easier for me to conquer the rest of my environment.

My Coworkers

In studying Liberal Arts I have been empowered and emerged as an all-rounded character (Oomen, 2016). I am knowledgeable in both mathematics and social sciences, and I have connected this to my workplace. The outstanding results for me are greater interpersonal communication and enhanced self-discipline which has earned me a place in the hearts of my colleagues at work. Indeed, they are often amazed at the speed at which I tackle issues that require deep analysis. Moreover, they feel that I am more professional and educated. My fellow employees from my manager to my subordinates have congratulated me on several occasions; their impressions have been because of my productivity at work. Indeed, there is no respect that anybody can anticipate more than this in a typical workplace. I have made many friends over declining foes.

My life in Liberal Arts

Consequently, after these achievements, I have become happier and cultivated as I have discovered many secrets of life. Through my awesome experience, I have been more satisfied than ever. My family and coworkers have been the reasons for my happiness, but I can never forget what brought me here, my learning of Liberal Arts. I am also more confident than ever.

Merits of Liberal Arts to my career

Lastly, I have been in the best position that has granted me access to a great career. I have found it much easier to adopt into new roles assigned, and I also set the correct principles and frameworks that guide my work ethics. Other professionals also occasionally come to me for consultation, which I offer with a big smile. Learning Liberal Arts has made me as one of the most knowledgeable employees.
