Me and My Peers

In doing peer reviews for this project I learned how many of my classmates felt about not just candidates but particular issues. In just coming out of a class that we had to do a lot of peer reviews in, I feel I did my best to be objective and fair. I also felt it necessary to explain why I said what I did, so that there would be less confusion for the person getting reviewed. The only thing that I struggled with, while doing the reviews, was to remain objective when I was reviewing someone’s paper about a candidate that I didn’t agree with. I feel that the proposals I read showed different ways of approaching a subject and relaying that subject matters to others. It will definitely give me ideas for future work as well as this current assignment.

Ben Franklin’s virtues

I find sincerity to be a strong virtue for me. I have witnessed a great many people who are dishonest with others in their lives. That is why I try my best to be honest and sincere in my life. I have often said not to ask me a question that you may not want to know the answer to, because you will get the truth.

Humility is sometimes a hard virtue for me to follow. When I am proud of my accomplishments I want to share them with those that I know. However, I have been told I go overboard at times and it borders on bragging.

I see value in keeping track of your own behavior because it is one way that others perceive you. Consideration for others around you is always a good thing. For those that only think about themselves are usually very lonely.

Election

The first time i can remember having anything to do with an elections was 1992. I had just turned 18 in August and the presidential election was being held in 3 months. There were 3 major candidates running that year. First was Republican George H. W. Bush. For the Democrats it was Bill Clinton. Then the one i voted for H. Ross Perot, Independent. Even though Perot was the smartest guy there you knew he wasn’t going to get elected. There were too many people who said I’m a Republican, or I’m a Democrat, to actually listen to the issues and see what what was going on.

Final food for thought

Write about anything that we want to, that could be dangerous. I will keep it relatively tame. First off i want to wish everyone from the class good luck in whatever educational venture they are engaged in. You alone get to take the responsibility of steering your life in the right direction. Not everything is going to be available to you that you want, but realize that how well you deal with adversity can shape the person you are tommorrow. Lastly, I want to thank Steve for making this class fun. Not just fun, but fun to the point that most of us did not realize just how much we were learning until we took a look back with our reflection essay. Even though this class is coming to an end, I will see you on Monday to start Composition II.
