The Future

I would like to encourage the future teachers entering this class to be open-minded. I learned so much when I was engaged during class. And the topics of race, class, gender, sexuality, power and privilege have challenged and strengthened my core beliefs. Don't be afraid to say what you believe and never hold back. It's important to stand up for what you believe is right. You may be firm in your beliefs when it comes to these topics and your strenth will most likely resonate on others who aren't so firm. As future teachers, we need to be accepting and understanding; so, open your eyes to the world around you, even if it makes you uncomfortable. I learned from my peers and saw the diversity in my own class. If we are so different in one class at Baylor, imagine the students we will soon come across in our own classrooms.
