5/25 class record

hmm... today's assignment to write "why you are the best student in class" is a toughie.
well... here goes. lol

I feel that I have many flaws. Among them, there are two that I am constantly aware of but cannot do anything about: first, I am way too sensitive and second, I fail when it comes to multi-tasking. Usually, these two flaws get the better of me when I feel hurt by the most trivial things or when I panic when there are too many things on my plate. However, I benefit from these flaws in class. I can focus on the assignment at hand, whether it is listening to Rab and my peers explain something, trying to come up with my own opinion, or reading an assigned work at home. When it comes to sensitivity, I think I do a pretty good job of noticing if one of my friends looks hesitant to say something, if they look sad, and try to comfort/support them in discussions by asking for their opinions or trying to relate to what they have said. In conclusion, taking advantage of my flaws, I put a lot of effort into assignments while participating actively in discussions with careful attention to my classmates' needs, which makes me... the best student.



lol

There was something that went through my mind today during class.
We talked about how we are already biased the moment we take a position on any matter. And to pursuade the audience about that position, we should reasonably follow that bias in our writing. I thought it was really ironic how the act of pursuading someone that writing is biased is itself biased. Wait... did I just state something that's normal? I thought it was ironic somehow. Wait, I'm confusing myself now lol Does anyone kinda sorta see what I'm drawing at? lol
