A look into my final presentation justification:
Signing up for a class you know nothing about can be a daunting task, especially when it’s an honors course. Diving into a unique learning experience can offer many unexpected learning opportunities, even some which immerse you in the cultures of other countries. Through a variety of text, YouTube videos, and out of class experiences, I became more knowledgeable over the course of the semester. With such a variety of topics covered, all branching off of humor, there was no way to just pick one thing that was impactful during the semester....
General Thoughts
The world is full of surprises. Sometimes the surprises are at the hands of others, but sometimes you can surprise yourself. I learned so much about who I am as a person and what is important to me from taking this course. Who knew that reading a short story about a failed vacation and a murder could be so sentimental? Going off to college 800 miles away from home, I thought I would create my own, adult world, a world where I didn't need my mom to do anything for me. Boy, was I wrong. I didn't realize it until we read A River Runs Through It, but I can't imagine a world where I didn't text my mom about something dumb I did or call my sister asking for homework help. Accepting help from others is an amazing thing; I've been living in A River Runs Through It and never noticed it. I feel blessed that I was able to take one of the last spots in the class because if I hadn't, who knows where I would be (probably studying Astronomy or something).
