RiFt

I was really happy that Rift came to talk in our class, I really like him, and I really liked everything he talked about. He is a really experienced and intelligent guy. I had a class with him last semester, History of Television. It was an awesome class and an amazing experience. He is a great teacher and he does really teach. He doesn’t make us memorize or have tests if we really don’t need them. I really like that he made us write and write and write. It not only help us in our writing skills, but it also makes us think and come up with some good ideas and original material. That is what his classes our about, the real world. He is more than a teacher he is a friend and a counselor. In the class sometimes we would just talk and we would have very good discussions, we learned about television in other countries and other times. It was really interesting, he talks about everything and he really has the knowledge. In the real world what really matter is being smart, well rounded and creative. With his class I learned a lot about the industry, about how everything works, not only the bright side of things but also the bad side of the industry. We watched movies and TV shows he considers (and is correct on that thought) really good and everyone should know. My favorite part was still the writing, in this industry you always have to come up with something new, and having to seat down and write a thousand word papers on a movie, a debate, or your favorite TV show, makes you open your mind to different points and views.


Do What You Love

I really enjoyed everything he said to our class on Wednesday, but my favorite was when he talked about doing what you love and what you want to do for the rest of your life. I liked that he said he changed his mind until he decided what he wanted to do. How he took everything that he went through and took advantage of that. He is an example to be followed, of someone that struggled, but still was always happy with the path he choose and keeps being the same person after everything, he keeps it real and talks about the truth and whatever he feels is right. He is a great guy that more people should know and take classes from. Oh, Rift is probably reading this, so, Hey Rift, I`m really excited to take your class next semester. Your awesome have a great summer. Rafael! ;D
