Week of October 27^th and 29^th: my second absence and various topics for discussion

     I was not in attendance in class on the 27^th. Due to a prior commitment for an organization I am in, I had to go help set up for an event.

            When I came back to class on the 29^th, I soon realized that I had missed basically everything that was important for the month. There was an extra credit assignment that was given were we could go watch a documentary in the sub about sexual abuse and what consent means. In class, we spent the most of our time discussing this time, and detailing what consent means to us. After this, we moved onto the topic of the school system (no idea how we made that leap) and the differences between public school and private. 
 We touched on the fact that our major is often ridiculed by our peers as being “an easy major” and the consequences this can have on our careers and the view of teachers.

I know that I am way too quick in apologizing for my major. When my friends tell me that they are engineers or business majors, I always say I am education and that “It isn’t as hard as y’alls though”. I realize that I need to stop apologizing or talking down my major, and realize that what I am focusing on is just as important as other people’s paths.
