I think this class has helped me grow as a thinker and in starting to find confidence in my own thoughts. I went to high school where the goal was to get the highest test score but not really think about what we were being taught; this class was the opposite in that it really forced me to digest what I was reading rather than memorize every word to pass a reading check. I am naturally introverted and do wish I pushed myself to speak more in this class; however, I think this class has made me more confident in my thoughts, a good start for further discussion-based courses in my Richmond career.
