Our Own Understanding

Blogs are a great way to put ideas together that we have gone over in class and incorporate them into our everyday thinking. I am always really cautious of what I put on my blog because I know that anyone could read it. I want to make sure that the statements I am making are congruent with what I actually believe. If this were just a journal for only a few to read, I would not be so careful. Therefore, I am impressed with the knowledge of myself that I have gained through this experience. I have not only learned how to write more efficiently, but have gained an understanding of how strong my beliefs are and where they lie. It is easier for me to voice my opinions on these topics because I have spent a lot of time thinking about them and have had the chance to come to my own conclusions. If I didn't have to do the blogs I would also lack understanding in class. It forces me to go back over my notes and fully comprehend the lessons before I draw my own conclusions. Blogs are an easy way to help us draw out our thoughts and opinions and apply the things we learn in class to our daily lives.
