Reflection:This has been one of the most challenging classes I have ever taken.  I put it in the category of a Speech class it took me three times to attempt, all for personal reasons.  One thing I learned from that instructor was that we all have to do things that we don't want to do, but just do them and you will feel better that you accomplished that.  The paper itself is something that I procrastinated doing, but being that I got as involved as I did for my advocacy topic of parental involvement, it made me want to complete it.  Getting back to the speech class analogy, the class was uncomfortable because of it's nature, but once completed, I still use tools when I have to talk to a group of people that I learned from that class.  Sometimes you don't always learn the specific topic you are studying about, but you learn things that make you a better person.  The traits of patience, persistence, and tenacity ring true with this paper research project.  It also made me grateful to know that I was not alone and that my classmates helped me carry through.  Thank you for Sisie and all of my classmates, good luck in the future!
