The Final Blog

I have a respectful mind. I am most comfortable when I am surrounded with various groups of people. Whatever the case maybe, age, race, or sex, I enjoy finding the differences within each individual and find a way to work well among them. With younger children, there obviously has to be a change in approach compared to a teenager. I love to find these variations and learn different ways to work effectively within each sector.

If I had to choose some characteristics that I exemplify include exhibiting curiosity, respect for other viewpoints, and read with awareness of self and others. I show curiosity by wanting to learn more, and then finding answers to questions. I don't wait for others to tell me the answer, but instead I go out and search myself. I respect others viewpoints during class discussions and outside of the classroom. I am patient until a person finishes their thoughts and then I give my viewpoint with respect and courteous. I also read with awareness to others and myself by thinking about how a certain subject affects my life and the lives of people around me.

I learned two things through this blogging process. The first is that I can share my thoughts about my feelings and expand my horizon by following others blogs. Before this project, I only shared my feelings, if you could call it that, on facebook. Well as you can imagine, I never researched or thought of ideas that could support my question. I learned that others have significant questions about the world, or have ideas that could help in everyday life, that by following I could learn more about. The second thing I learned directly relates to my big question on equality in America. I thought that whites had more privileges and received more than blacks, but I never had the statistics to back up my hypothesis. I learned that even after the Civil Rights Movement, blacks still have a little ways to go before they have the same equality as whites. I enjoyed this process and I learned a lot about my subject and the people I followed.
