Lessons Learned
I have learned many life lessons in this wonderful class of ours and I will absolutely take these lessons with me to college, through my relationships, to marriage and to death. I will not silence myself when it comes to my sexuality, spirituality, or orientation. I will stand up for others and be an advocate for them when it comes to their own sexuality and being. Another important lesson that was stressed in this class was to always have a buddy when going out at night in college to avoid any bad occurrences of danger.
I wish I was there that day, but apparently we learned that we should not care what people think right now because it “does not (insert profanity here) matter” said Mrs. Kennedy. In the long run it really matter how we feel with ourselves and whether or not we respect ourselves as a person. I for one have deeply appreciated these past eight week and have learned greatly from them.

Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI am glad this course has helped to affirm your confidence and conviction. I am embarrassed that you mentioned the day that I cursed in class... but I was speaking on how easy it is to get caught up in the drama of daily life, gpa's, sat scores, etc etc. and that in the long run, this 'stuff' doesn't matter... doesn't define who you are, what you are capable of, what gives you a sense of fulfillment (at least I hope you can find things that are more fulfilling in life than an A). Hope that better explains my tangent! It breaks my heart to hear of people feeling suicidal or depressed because they failed a test or didn't get asked to formal. There is so much more to life. It gets better :)
Ok, that's that! Thanks Lauren!
