As I sit in the Law building, and reflect on what I think stuck with me the most; I really don't think it was any one thing, but rather a few things. The first interesting thing was how we started the class. We arranged the room, to where we all had to look at one another, and it brought me back to elementary school (which for me, was a long long time ago), with a fond recollection of learning, for the sake of learning. The second thing was the introductions, which weren't different because we had to introduce, but rather that we had to talk a bit about ourselves, and WHY we wanted to take this class. I really was surprised to find that a lot of people had the same concerns and goals as I have myself. In a way, that inspires me and strengthens my view of myself. I'm not the only one who struggles with developing my own ideas, or feels like they are starting over from previously decided (though now abandoned) career paths, to follow their ambitious dream. Most of all, I was surprised by the very vibe I am getting about the class as a whole. That vibe is all about working on yourself, and helping others around you to do the same. I have to say, I am liking things so far :)
Optimistically Hopeful,
