Inspired.

For my last blog, I'd really like to thank everyone in my group for getting thru all those projects and I really had fun working with you guys! Thanks to Irene & the TA's for a great and inspiring class (:

I'd have to say that this ETHS210 class has been pretty crazy. It's soooo different from what I'm used to - readings, quizzes, papers, tests and all. I honestly didn't even think that we'd do so much performances. What I liked best about this class was being able to learn so much more about who I am as an Asian American. Before this class, I never really looked at my self as being 'asian american'. I just thought of myself as a filipina that doesn't look like one, but whatever. In this class, I learned so much more about the struggles my grandparents, parents, family had gone through as immigrants trying to make a living here in the US. I'm honestly grateful for their support. I've also learned the importance of self-determination and how I gotta strive for my rights against so many factors that prevent me from being who I am.

This class has also given me the chance to learn more about myself and see my creative side. I feel that I've gained a whole lot more confidence in expressing myself especially thru our midterm invasian, POP, and even thru those class activities we had. I'd have to say that my favorite project would have to be the iron chef challenge, not only cause i love food, but our group just had a crazy fun time with it, and we kicked ass even though we didn't win.

All in all, this class was a great experience for me and I've learned to appreciate who I am as an Asian American. I've been officially inspired. (:
