So long, farewell, adeiu adeiu adeiu ...

Dear Self,
Upon leaving this class you will look at the world much differently. You will be better prepared for uncomfortable situations and you will also have a better understanding of other individuals (put that sociological imagination to use!). You are well aware that you are a white, middle-class, male, and so automatically people are going to assume you have been handed everything. You know that your values and views can be challenged, but in the end it is up to you to make the final decision. It is important to continue participating in philanthropic activities and working with those who are less fortunate. It is also important to be more critical of the media, and not to take it to heart. You are also aware that you can choose to change the station on the television, surf the web at your own free will and also read whatever you would like. Oh and last but not least, you are extremely happy to be done with college! So from the words of the children in the Sound of Music- So long, farewell, adeiu, adeiu adeiu...

-CJ
