So Long

Well, to start off honestly, I cannot say I enjoyed this class. Reason being, I procrastinated excessively, so it is hard to enjoy a class when you're cramming a week of work into 3 hours, every week. That's my fault though. Apart from that, I did like some of the assignments that we were given, I found them to be insightful and thought provoking. I feel that I learned a lot about myself, more than I might have expected, and I also learned alot about my classmates as well. I was given the opportunity to present my outlook on the world through these blogs, and I was able to see how others saw things as well. I think it would be fair to say that we were all generally open and honest with each other, and I truly valued that. I found myself learning that even when I do not agree with someone, I can respect them, and even try to understand their views.
Because I realized this I feel it is fair to say that I have grown up a bit because of this class. Having gone to Desert Christian Schools since 6th grade, I have led a fairly sheltered life. We all had the same general views, the first time I can remember any major differences between us would be in our ethics class senior year. So to go from that to this class, I found that I really enjoyed it. As an eyeopener, I cannot think of one better than here, with a class of people who are open to honest discussion, not worrying about offending each other, but also not trying to. So for that, I loved this class.
I also enjoyed some of the works we read in this class, I must admit. I am generally a big reader, but when it comes to school topics I am known to slack off a little, but there was a good handful this semester that I could say I enjoyed. It was nice to have so many to read, I always knew I could find at least one that appealed to me within such a large selection, even if it took some time to find it.
On the whole, I found this to be a great and beneficial class. I certainly did not approach it in the best manner, but generally speaking I liked it. It made me think for myself, more than anything else, and I always admire that in a class, I hate to be spoon fed. Therefore this class appealed to me, and I think I would like to do more of the sort, thought maybe after I gain a little more discipline.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone who was apart of the discussions in this class. As I said, I really value the honesty we had with each other and I will miss having that in the months to come. I hope I was able to impart some small wisdom with someone, I know many of you did so for me, and I thank you for that. I had a great time this semester, I hope you all did as well! Have a great summer!
