Final Thoughts

This was a great semester, and I am glad I was given the opportunity to look at this problem in our society, as well as learn ways I can fix them. When I first signed up for the course, I felt like I couldn't change anything, but then Betsy, my professor, told me I had to stop thinking that way. So I did. And I found that I can change things, even if it is just the way that I approach ideas because being the change is the first step. It's the only way a person can make changes to things around them. I am planning to take another step and set up a challenge day on my campus in the Spring semester, where we take students from all different walks of life, put them in a room together doing ice breakers, so they can understand that they stand on some common ground. I also want to set up a Human Rights Club where any person who is for human rights, not just gay rights, can join and help make changes. I am very excited about my hand in making changes, and feel that I got a lot of the tools I will need from this class.
