What Have I Learned About Myself?

Throughout the course we learned about many different issues and I really found out a lot about myself. I learned that in the end I really wasn't aware of the extent of some of the issues but I also learned that I want to make a change to help children. I found out that even though I'm confident voicing my opinion in a group of friends when it comes to speaking in class discussions or debates I'm very shy and self-conscious of what people with think when I say my piece. I also learned that when presenting I get very nervous but now that the year is coming to an end I have become more confident, especially if I have an interest and knowledge on the topic. I also learned that I really care about the rights of children in other countries and that I want to do something to help them have better lives. At the end of this year I have realized that I just need to speak my mind if I truly believe my opinion and just let people say what they want as long as I stick to my opinion.
