Last semester one of our assignments was to present our educational influences in a timeline. I really enjoyed all of the presentations throughout our semester and felt that this assignment brought us closer as a cohort. It reminded me that you never really know what someone is or has gone through. A lot of us cried together, laughed together, and comforted each other. When deciding what influences to put in my presentation, I was thinking critically of myself and my past. Everything I have done and been through up to today has somehow influenced me to be where I am. This assignment made me appreciate everything I have been through, even the negatives.
