3rd Quarter
Before Winter Break, my goal was to be positive, and I think that I did all right. We did a lot of classwork in groups, so I had plenty of time to practice. I think the thing I need to work on is group work. I shouldn’t participate too much, or too little. I can’t not take part, and I can’t take over the group. Studying Islam helped because I was learning about a peaceful, and equal culture. I think I was also sort of learning to become a peaceful person, who tries to keep things equal. Leaning about the plague was less helpful than learning about Islam, but it was interesting. Even though it was disgusting, I still learned a lot about sickness back then, and also a little bit about disease now. It was all cool and educational. While it was not always my favorite thing to hear about, it was still interesting.
