As we close the semester and I think back at everything that
has been said, everything that has been done and that will be accomplished I
find it amazing how much I have grown and how I believe many of others in our
classroom have grown. I started off the semester in this class pretty rough.
The structure of the class startled me; from the blogs, to the observations to
our projects down to all the FREEDOM we had! I have always been a person to
plan ahead, have a set deadline, like to have clear-cut instructions and like
to know that at the end of the process I will have an output I can measure.
Well guess what this class was, the complete OPPOSITE from all that I have described
above. It was a struggle but I managed to maintain my composure and not
completely break down…
To the cohort I was a part of this semester; what a
pleasure! The thought that I could possibly have you again next semester in
some of my classes is very rewarding. Each and every one of you has shared
something this semester that I took away from and learned. Yes, everyone had
their different personalities and yes I sometimes believed that our class was
going to be a fighting ring but never did I feel there was animosity after our
discussions. We all had different perspectives and it was a great experience to
hear them all.
To Professor G, what a pleasure to have experienced a
classroom setting with you! You’re knowledge over social justice issues is
immense and I’m sure if this class could go on forever you would still not run
out of great things to inform us of. I have developed an insightful way of
thinking about these issues through your many examples and great stories. Thank
you once again for the pool of new knowledge that you have shared with us and
of course, thank you for your oh so delicious cookies that I will try and stop
by your next semester classes and steal lol
I leave you with your thoughts...
Irene,
