I didn’t realize how passionate I was about this class until I began writing my paper.  I was in Kansas City at the time and was a little upset at having to write a paper over the holiday weekend while at home on break.  But, once I started writing, I realized how important it was to sum up everything that I acquired into a scholarly written assignment so that in the future, when talking with priniciples and administrators I can show them just how insightful and enlightening my experience was.  I wish I would have had more time to put it together.  It wasn’t as organized as I wanted it to be, and I really wanted to talk about every topic that we covered in class.  I guess I could have done that, but it would have been a bit much for the time period.  Surprisingly, this was my favorite assignment of the whole course (although I loved every bit of the the readings that we were given).  At first, when thinking about writing a paper, my thoughts automatically turned negative, but once I got to it and actually started pouring out my ideas and thoughts on paper, I had so much fun. I was able to say things and express feelings that I was a little insecure about speaking of while in class.  So, writing that paper turned out to be a great experience (almost as good as Serenbe)!
