People

            This semester I have learned a lot about myself and grown as a person.  Last semester I was worried about being cool and having cool friends, but this semester I focused more on meeting as many new people as I could.  This course helped me in this endeavor as I discussed with twenty strangers every week.  We eventually stopped being strangers and the discussions in class got better and better.  I was also able to meet someone from another nation and get to know her.  Talking to people this semester in class and out has made me realize something great.  The best way to learn is by talking to other people and hearing what they have to say.

            Other people are the best thing any of us could be blessed with.  We are able to have people to comfort us, laugh with us, love us, and help us grow.  Most people do not know the impact they have had on those they meet.  Even a smile can go a long way in affecting somebody.  I have begun to understand just how great a factor other people are in our lives.  We all live a human life, but everybody’s is different.  These differences are beautiful and create a unique person.  Talking and befriending new people opens our eyes to these differences and can teach us more than a text book full of formulas could ever teach us.

            While meeting these people with all these differences I have changed my scope and began to realize my own impact I might have on others.  I can only hope that I have taught something to people whom I have learned from.  I have enjoyed embracing these differences that have helped me learn and change.

            Learning is a part of life and change is inevitable.  All humans are constantly changing at a microscopic level.  Cells are dying and being created every second.  If we change a microscopic level we have to change as a person, too.  I have realized that if I embrace change and growth I can learn as much from others as possible.
