This semester, yeah I'm taught a lot of things but what did I truly learn, and let process in my mind. Learning, in my mind, takes skill and it's not just listening and not remembering, it's hard work. This is what I truly learned this semester.
Doing these blogs I learned about myself, computers, and other people. The blogs gave me the freedom to express myself. Expressing myself is something I love to do but through pictures, now I learned how to do it through words. Getting assigned projects in blogs I still could express my self,and it was way better than writing a paper. Through blogs, my knowledge with computers went up, even though I knew a lot before.
Learning about Rwanda was one of my favorite things. I really got into what was going on, it was like a mini Holocaust! With the Hutu and Tutsi hating each other, and Interahameway killing people with machetes, and UN, MRND and RAF all basically on different sides. Watching Hotel Rwanda was crazy too. It showed a closer view of what was going o instead of a over view. Rwanda was interesting, to learn about because there were random people being hacked to death, people hacking random people, and the peaceful trying to help people, that were all focused on one issue but couldn't put their minds together to compromise.
Doing the Rwandan Genocide Debate was something I really took in because you could play rolls and really absorb different views horrific event. With many groups of people learning about one main topic, and them putting them together in sub-topics was very neat. Everyone had really put effort into what was going on. Learning different views was fun because instead of just knowing your part of the story you knew all the sides.
Writing a memoir was something kind of challenging to me. I learned a lot there, because my writing wasn't the best it could be, it still probably isn't but better than it was. Having to re look at my paper and really focus on what I was trying to say was new to me, and something at the time I didn't enjoy, but now I'm glad I learned it. Instead of saying, " the aroma of a closed building filled the air" I changed it to "The aroma of stiff air, form no one being in the building all summer, filled my nose". Just changing one little sentence can change the whole view on the story/memoir.
Listening to stories, let me think my own way and feel my own feelings,not that I couldn't do that before, it just let slack on the leash. Listening to the "The Man in the Well" was a very old story but gave me plenty of room to think and explore. With that exploration room people defiantly had some great, and not so great ideas. Bringing a group of people to talk about one subject they just heard and their thoughts is quiet interesting because so many different thoughts and views come up. Instead of half and half it was more like one person said this one no one even had struck up a thought like that.
Mr.Fielder has taught me a lot this semester and I will take that to my advantage. I will remember what I learned and try more to learn more in my life.
