It does not matter how comfortable I am with my decisions to pursue a degree in the Humanities, I am still not at the level of confidence as the character Jack Dawson from the motion picture Titanic was, and the fear of not knowing what’s going to happen is still very much present.

In terms of music as a study, it is more than just performance and learning the way of music.  As a music major, I took time to adjust to the inner concepts of music other than performance.  When the new year started for the Humanities Collaborative at EPCC-UTEP, I was curious to see what I would be working on next.

When I was selected to serve as a Master's Research Fellow under the Humanities Collaborative at EPCC-UTEP in the summer of 2022, I was rather enthused about the opportunity, especially since this isn’t my first intern experience in which I had to work independently.  Right before this point, I had served as an intern at the Centennial Museum at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) during the spring semester of 2022 where I was assigned to assist in projects and tasks.

What does it mean to be a historian? How does one do history? What other options does one have when pursing a history degree?
