Giving Thanks

LST 217 has really opened up my eyes to a lot of things and for that I am truly thankful. I really value the group and class discussions we so often have, and even moreso, I really appreciate and value the guest speakers we have had the privledge to listen to. I have really enjoyed listening to other people talk- it's nice to hear other people's opinions and ideas because they make me see things in a different light than my own. I am honored to have been able to be present at the presentations by first and second generation genocide survivors. It's a sad thing that only few people in this world will ever have the opportunity to do the same. The course content and the students and faculty involved have really made the class a fabulous experience and a real eye-opener. I am thankful for having been able to be a part of this class, and I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into it. As we fly through these last few weeks, I hope to take in even more from our readings, discussions, and presentations. It will be sad to see the class end, but at the same time, our learning and our activism will always continue.
