LAST BLOG 0_o?! I'm having extremely mixed feelings about this being the last blog that I'll do for this class. In a sense I'm happy because I'm out of school for Summer, but in the back of my mind I know that I'll miss this because it's brought so much out of me, really out of all of us. I reminiscence on my first blog and remember thinking "What am I doing?-I don't want people reading my thoughts!", but now things are different for me. Because I'm not so much of a talker, it is easier for me to have people read my thoughts, rather then me trying to express them vocally.  Before all of the blogging, and class discussions I really thought that I was alone in my thoughts and feelings; I thought that I was the only one experiencing all of this, but we were all battling with our own realities.

    I've learned so much about myself over the past few months and it's so hard for me to comprehend how far I've come as an individual. I notice myself seeing situations differently, and dealing with adversity in a much different manner. This class has seemed like a therapy session, allowing me to vent and have the emotions that I need to express at any given moment. Even if I didn't blog or talk about all of my feelings in class, I was still able to discuss these matters with friends and gain more then just my own insight into matters that we discussed in class.

     You all have taught me so much, whether you believe it or not. I have learned so much more about my peers and your motivations for wanting to become social workers. This class has gotten me so involved in more then just myself. I've gotten to meet some amazing people and come together to share our struggles with social justice, and what we feel should be done. This has been an amazing semester and I look forward to seeing all of you next semester:)!!

I'll leave you with a really cliche song, but it's gotten me through so much:)!! Until next time...
