Reply To: Exercise 9: Second Personal Essay
Hey Hayden,
You are so refreshingly self-reflective and open! Thank you for sharing so deeply the process you have been going through. Your initiative has shown in this class and with that baseline, I am confident that you will find ways to live your values about animal protection and advocacy. I hope we will learn of them as we go forward in the class.
You identified the 4-6 week mark as being challenging (and so did Olivia in her response) this reflects my experience, too. It makes me remember my teaching days when as professors, we gave each other knowing looks around week 6 because students hit a slump and had difficulties maintaining their energy. I am realizing that on the student end of it, you all as classmates have helped me navigate my slump.
Thanks!
Beth
