Humanities is a place where you need to come prepared to learn. To be honest, at first I really did not care for Humanities that much. Sorry but its very true. At first I thought that the material we were studying was relatively boring.
After a while the subjects changed, and so did my opinions. The material began to be more interesting, I started participating more in class, and the most significant change: I started enjoying class!
Me being able to enjoy class and be energetic really was the turning point of my experience in Humanities. My whole perspective of Humanities changed while we read Sophie's World, which is probably one of my most favorite books I have read. Sophie's World opened my eyes up to new dimensions through the text, and what other people had to say as well.
Understanding the other students in Humanities is also a big necessity because the people make the population. I know many of the people in Humanities and I have known them since freshman year. In the time that I have had to learn about them, I can relate what they talk about in class to myself and other life experiences. A few students are very quiet in class and participate rarely; however, I know some of them on a personal level which allows me to get a better understanding of what is going on in their head. So in a way everyone in class is talking out loud.
My change of opinion from what I thought class was like in the beginning of the year to my opinion now has made an huge improvement, and I am glad it has. Humanities is a way for me to try to express fully my creativity, my passion, but most importantly: my mind. I am very excited for quarters three and four, but at the same time, I feel slightly nervous.
What will we learn? What will we do... And how will we do it?
