Final Paper

1. In this course we have been treated as colleagues among one another and among Dr. Preston. With this comes a high level of trust. I think we have all deserved this level of trust after spending many years in an education system without trust. Along with this, I think we have also honored it immensely because we finally got the freedom to control our own learning.

2. One piece of literary work that we read that I feel like really describes part of my journey was Hamlet. I felt like in a way, a lot of what he went through is still very relateable to the modern day teenager.

3. I have reconnected with a passion that drives me. I feel like throughout this year I have been put in a lot of positions where I have to remind myself to be kind and to give kindness and I feel like that is a big part of my passion. Not only is it to give a helping hand to the people around me, but also to all of the creatures that we share Earth with.

4. One thing about this course that made me laugh to myself are all of our side conversations as well as mine and Haleys comments to each other throughout each class period.

5. A unifying theme between at least 5 presentations is the human behavior, such as how and why we think certain things, how we adapt, how we percieve things, etc.

6. I feel like I responded to my call to adventure extremely well. I saw an opportunity being placed in front of me and I soaked up all of the adventure that lied within it to the absolute best of my ability.
