Bootstraps – A one word conversation with students
In the fourth episode of the S.A.F.E. Topics podcast, we were joined by MiraCosta College students and had a one-word conversation with the word, “Bootstraps.” We were joined by students Monique (Sociology), Matthias (Sociology), Kennedy (Psychology), Victor (Liberal Arts), and Jacob (Communications).
What to listen for:
- What does pulling yourself up by the bootstraps look like at Miracosta?
- Bootstraps as a mask of masculinity.
- The mental health aspect of bootstraps.
- What does help look like?
- How do family, friends, professors help to reach resources?
- Does who you surround yourself with matter?
- Individuality stripping.
- Expressing vulnerability.
- Do students know about resources available to them?
- Does not reaching out for help limit one’s success?
- Circumstances.
- Bootstraps from a military perspective.
- Being an individual vs. having support.
- The big change from high school to college.
