Post monologue i felt like a weight has been lifted off me. I have always been the type of person to suppress my feelings and to have the opportunity to be able to share what i felt and who i am with LC09 it felt great. Being so insecure during my early teenage years has affected me in so many ways, but mostly in a positive way surprisingly. And being able to share something so personal like that with the group made me feel like i could trust these people, i had faith in them and that made me so happy. I liked being able to open up to them and show them what kind of person i truly am, because the best relationships are built when you show someone your true colors and you present yourself as your natural born self.
In freshman seminar I have grown and learned a lot about myself. When asked those personal questions during the free writes, it made me think a lot about things that i never really think about. I have experienced a lot of self-realization in this class and it has helped me attempt to stay true to myself. Freshman seminar not only helped me realize who i am however, it has also helped me realize what wonderful people LC09 has to offer.
