reflecting on the midterm

Our discussion in class for the oral portion of the exam was interesting and beneficial for me. Getting feedback in class discussions/debates always helps me keep my opinions and real views in perspective and in check. I appreciate arguing and admitting when I've spoken too broadly or unfairly. I learn the easiest when it comes to relating to others, especially those whose opinions I value, such as my classmates. Maddi especially touched me with her story of her mother and the horrors she deals with while living on medicare. I said, "It's weird because I completely agree with what Maddi says." I've always believed that everything is relative and there is no such thing as a black and white subject. The midterm class proved this true with every turn around the table and, though I might not have agreed with everything said, I enjoyed every minute.
