As I look back on what I wrote on day one, I can really see my personal growth. On September 1, 2010 I wrote that I hoped to one day work in television. That goal has changed immensely, partly due to this class project and partly due to the overall work I have been doing about Girl Scouts (thesis, independent study, training module). I am really glad that I was able to come to this realization because I feel like now I have a goal to make a difference for an organization that shaped me in to who I am today.
Another thing I look back and am able to reflect on is my relationship with my boyfriend. We met right when school started and started dating a few weeks later. It has since turned into a serious relationship. I often talked about topics from class with him, making it easy to have things to write about in my blog. I realized that this class and this blog has helped me to have a better relationship with him because of the way we have been so open about things. For example, our discussion of gender roles led up to talk about our expectations of the other if we were to move in together or even get married. I think that this type of conversation would deter a lot of men away, but I think that it made our relationship stronger because it opened up doors and implied that there were no taboo topics between us. Overall, this class has been a lot more meaningful for me than I would have ever expected, and I am extremely glad I chose it.
