Global Connections Reaction

Last year while selecting my English course for the semester I had several friends who took Global Connections and they had told me about how much fun the class was. Kyle Gounod was one of my best friends, and he explained how someone who isn't always interested in school could be very interested in this class because it doesn't act as a regular English class. I was intrigued by this and the fact that we could use it as our civics credit, so it led to me choosing to take Global. I fell in love with this class when we started learning about things that I had always been very one sided about, for example steroids, racial injustices and many other ideas. When we discussed the issues of the Rodney King incidents, I was so astonished as to learning more about the artists whose music I listened to as a kid, because I had never known that some of their songs had very serious meanings, and had actually started and helped out the movements of their generations. I really think Global helped me open up my thinking, and viewing of situations in this world, because I felt that I was very one sided prior to listening to all the ideas given to me while a part of Global. I think Global is an amazing class, and I would recommend to anyone that this is the class to take, while in your senior year, as long as you can manage your time a little bit better then I did throughout my first semester.
