EL EXTRA CREDIT

As a result of this program I personally have learned a lot about myself and others. It has taught me how to view others and situations. this program has shifted my paradigm to see the possibilities versus all the negativity that life can sometimes throw.  the assignment in ACAD allowed me to really see in depth who the individual people where in the program and what they had to offer not just as a leader but as a friend. in high school i was not necessarily the type of person who go to the parties and hang out with the group not because i was not liked because i was but simply because it was not possible to actually have a genuine conversation  with the people i called my peers without them having a judging mentality such as ohhh she thinks shes all that or the fact that everyone thought that i had it together so the only time they came to me was when they had a problem or hep trying to get through a situation. it was not the i did not want to help them because i did my passion is in serving but the thing that hurt the most through out not just high school was the fact that being a "leader" put me in a state of loneliness not soo much where i had no one there for me but in the case of where i no one on to communicate with no one who really understand me. coming into this program has allowed me to see a different bread of people it has shown me something that i never really had before that is people who genuinely care and honestly want the best for you personally 

While doing the activity last Wednesday i was honestly kind of relieved doing the activity because i had a lot to vent about i carried a lot of baggage in high school which hindered me from fully be capable of being myself. but this event Wednesday really shaped the way i perceived the EL program i was able to share something that i have not shared to anyone. thinking about this program i think i was thinking of how much this program really affected me and it was overwhelming because this program has offered me something irreplaceable which are lifelong friendships and open mind to possibilities.  

All and all as i conclude this blog i really believe that this experience has shown me a lot. although i have only been this program for a month this experience has shown me how to go into a situation in a positive  perception be willing to open up and express who you are because you never know how what you have to offer can change the world of someone else.
