Everlasting

I do not believe in saying goodbye; I believe it is one of the hardest things to do.
Tomorrow shall not be an easy thing to do, but it is not the end. You have made an impact on my life that has changed me as a student, as a person, as a human. You helped me through some challenging tasks that I did not realize I had the courage to even attempt. I have opened my eyes to my past and appreciated the fact that my academic history has given me something unique.

I want to thank you for sharing, for guiding, and for listening. Also for making me realize that the pedagogy is constantly changing, and that our roles as teachers and students will always fluctuate.

So what? -- I will forever be changed because of your pedagogy. The topics we discussed might become out dated or forgotten but it is the fact that we did it; we were there and we experienced it. It will forever be ingrained as apart of me.

I will be searching forever in the Library of Babel to find out what exact point and what message you have taught me. I have come to the realization that in my vocabulary, words could never fully describe the change I have experience.


Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Power Of The Student Voice

A close friend and I have recently went through something thing that normal students might not believe they have the power to do. The two of us stood up and got our voices heard. We have had many issues with a course we took in the fall semester. We went through the process of trying to get our voice heard. Overall the experience of getting our voice heard has been stressful but a fairly positive one.

The biggest accomplishment personally is the fact that we did it. We got our voices heard and we did the right process. We did what we set out to do.

I will continue this post once classes are finished and I have more updates on our process.
