Changing Perspectives

I can't believe that the end of the semester is here. I hope you all got as much out of the class as I did. Now that we've moved through an entire semester together, I am interested to know if your perspectives have changed. Specifically, do you view your family and your own role in it differently? Has the class changed the presumptions you had about other people and your first impressions? When I took this class four years ago, I remember feeling like I had everyone figured out, but after listening to their personal family stories, I realized my assumptions were often off base. Did going into the text and hearing classmate's stories influence your perceptions about other people and how their backgrounds shape who they are? Thank you all for your openness and honesty in class. It was a joy to be present with you all through this experience! :)
