Reflection

During this first semester I have been very stressed out due to college applications. This became a problem to me because it affected greatly my grades and my responsibility. However, during this class I have learned a lot about events happening around the world. It really opened my eyes to different perspectives and made me more conscious of my surroundings and what is happening not only in the Dominican Republic but also all around the world. I am grateful that I took this course because now I read more the news and I am a little less ignorant of current events. Also I am grateful for Ms. Costales for making this class fun and relaxing. She taught us different ways to express our opinions and speak up about things we cared about, to share the problem with the world. Now a day technology is so advanced that communicating is easy. We used the media such as Instagram, Twitter and a blog, as our main tools to express and share our discussed topics. I am really glad I had the opportunity to take this class because I learned so much little things I did not know and not only that but I also had the chance to hear my peers opinions and get to know them better in accordance to their beliefs of what they think is right or wrong. This semester was stressful in a way but also thanks in part to this class it lower my level of stress since I didn’t have to worry about doing big projects or a lot of homework. I really liked this class because it was different in the way that we were a small group and it was relaxing and fun.
