Reflection

Banach’s lecture was one of the most interesting texts I’ve read in all my years at School of the Future. It was a little difficult to read at first, but what really helped me understand it was re-reading challenging sections and reading them slower. After that, I got use to Banach’s writing style and surprisingly the rest of the text wasn’t that difficult for me to read. However, combining his ideas into my manifesto was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do at School of the Future. This assignment was definitely the most frustrating I’ve gotten in a while. I re did my manifesto over and over again, trying to make it sound perfect but I don’t think it ever will which is something that has been bothering me. I’m still trying to finalize it! Over all, I am not proud of my manifesto. I don’t know why but putting all my beliefs into this paper was so challenging. I had a hard time making it flow so it was understandable to the reader, it just felt like I was jumping from topic to topic. I mainly don’t like it because I don’t feel like it represents me at all. I don’t think  I can express my beliefs through a big manifesto because writing isn’t one of my talents. Maybe an artistic way would be easier for me because it’s something I enjoy more. So far, I find personally this class  very hard. I have a hard time expressing my thoughts so most of my writing sounds jumbled. Also, this is the first year we are working with blogs and I find the idea of using them kind of annoying since forgetting to do the homework on them seems easier. However despite the fact that I find this class challenging, I also admire it. I have learned SO much in just these first few mouths of school and about things I actually care about. I feel that in the next ten years I will definitely  remember Banach lecture because it brought up so many interesting topics and opinions to questions I’ve been asking forever. I will also remember learning about existentialism, something I had never knew about until this class. I just loved doing all the fun activities in class learning about them like watching I heart Huckabee’s and reading the stranger, I feel as if I’m not only learning a lot more in general but a lot more about myself as well.
