I want to reflect on our class. Yes, our class that we are just about done with. Throughout our whole semester we have been discussing how to truly impact your students, how to make a difference in a struggling child's life, how to build a relationship with our students, and how to build a strong classroom community. We have all learned so much from these LONG four hours of classes everyday, but I honestly would like to commend us, because not only did we learn about these topics, but we actually lived them out. We actually took everything we learned about and applied to to our classroom. WE created a community out of our classroom and in my opinion I felt close and connected to everyone, we actually got to know each other and loved one another.
In life I have began to realize that people come and go, they pass by us and we never notice. However, every person has something to offer us, every person has a story and quite frankly the way you live your life can have a tremendous impact on the way I live mine. So, why is that? why do we never notice the person who is sitting right next to us in class. I don't know why in our class did we create a community with one another that many of us have never experienced. I don't know the answer to why and how we did, so please help me out, but even though I don't know all I know is I want to change it. I don't want to just pass by this person who sits next to me on an airport or in a bus or in my classroom at BC. Look I think we are truly one humanity, we are in this sea of humanity and we are here to help each other out. TO look past our own selfishness and to love. Because we are all one humanity, we are all living this life together, we need to help each other. If we are all one, if you truly are my brothers and sisters then how can I pass you by and never notice, how can I not try to help you live a better human life, how can I not love you, and I think thats it, I can't, i have to love you. I truly can't find the meaning to my own life without you, unless you help me find it, unless I know you and unless we impact each other. No man is an island and I believe we all need to start to live this way.
SO I want to thank you all, and I want to encourage you to create a classroom of your own like the one that we just lived in, one where people love one another and look past their own lives and see the true beauty in another human. Don't let people pass you by anymore cause the more i think about it the more we have to offer one another, we all have a story were all going somewhere and I think that somewhere your going is the same place I am!
