World issues is a class that has forever changed my view on the world. I am used to the typical, straight sciences; it’s all I know. I must admit, before this class I was completely oblivious to what was happening in the world around me. I would only hear brief snippets of the news from my parents or peers. In other words, I was living in my own little bubble. At first I was a little unsure of taking this course. I’m interested in helping others, I love to volunteer, and I want to make a difference, but I did not know what to expect. I soon found world issues to be a valuable course to take. The in-class discussions piqued my curiosity and kept me updated on current affairs. I was able to stay connected to the world’s issues. Although I am not one to contribute much during these discussions, I still thoroughly enjoy listening to them and learning new things each class. Throughout the year this class has inspired to pick up a newspaper or browse the news online and then later discuss my findings with parents or friends. I hope to continue being knowledgeable and better yet curious about the world around me as an informed, global citizen.
I enjoyed reading this as your blog post is an honest account of your findings this year in world issues. I think that we can all agree that world issues class has opened up our eyes to the world around us and has caused us all to become global citizens.
