I always try to be prepared and so far, I feel that I have succeeded though I thought I forgot my glasses once and nearly had heart failure. I greatly enjoy the class participation aspect of this class. As a student growing up I was so shy the mere thought of speaking out was mortifying. As an adult who is seeking out an education it is strange how I view the whole process differently. When I have a question I ask it plain and simple and strangely the floor has yet to open and swallow me whole. Oh to have this wisdom in the 7th grade. I find that asking questions has actually been a conduit to friendship in this class as well. A fellow student sat next to me and said “you ask good questions! I’m sitting next to you.” I can’t begin to explain what that did to my self-esteem. To know that my speaking out has had a positive effect on someone else is so amazing. What’s more amazing is the fear I have before asking questions which usually goes something like oh my gosh please don’t sound like an idiot.

I took the self-assessments very seriously and asked my family members and current housemates for feedback throughout this process. Some of these assessments confirmed my personal thoughts on the matter and few of the assessments opposed and revealed new qualities about myself that I had not thought of. Overall, this was a revolutionary experience and I would suggest thing process to anyone who wants a clear vision of him/herself.

I fulfilled my goals in taking this class because I had many opportunities to interview, write reflections, and analysis of the development of different age groups as I did journals.

As a high school debater, I examined every side of a given resolution, researched existing governmental policies and used compelling evidence in order to prove assertions. Amongst the various
