At first I was very reluctant to go to any of these workshops, mainly because they were during the one real break that I had once a week. However, once I saw them I couldn’t be happier. Being forced to go was one of the greatest things. I live in a community that is such a bubble and I don’t really hear of much outside of the community. Although, when I went to the Voices the other week I was touched. It is just marvelous how so many people can express themselves in such different ways. They open themselves up, trusting other people with the truth about themselves. I for example had said the most important topic in the world to me when I presented my monologue. It just really makes me feel good there are other people out there that have the strong will to open up. The Ruben museum was magnificent. To know the history, is the strongest gift of life. I believe we must understand clearly our past before we can plan out our future. The Ruben Museum did a wonderful job at giving me a short insight on the past. Overall, I think this class was a complete success, it has helped me out a lot.
