Metacognition: First Semester

Starting off in Humanities I thought it would be less reading and more about art. You warned us if we were in the class for that then we should leave because it is not all about art, and that is definitely true. I feel like I have learned more than can come to my head right now about analyzing essays, words and finding helpers such as organizing principles. We got taught the importance of creativity and learned how to go about interpreting it. We got taught vertical listening and dot connecting/creating. We pointed out key skills in other we could use for our own success such as in the movies; Falling Down Stairs and Born into Brothels. We got to learn deeper meanings that come from philosophy and also got to find the beauty in many different things from writing to art. We got to challenge our selves and keep creative journals by our Mindbook and kept tabs on our thoughts with our blogs.

I am really glad I took this class. It is not at all what I expected out of a creative English class, I actually learned a lot broader topics than just art and I am thankful for that. This class will help in the future when I have tons to read and won't think I'll finish or when I think I have no purpose here. This class gave me the skills to break down a big reading task or organize the impossible. This class so far has been an unexpected help with other life situations. It has opened my yes to other places around the world and I am very glad I took this class this year and am excited for what is to come.
