This is not a normal college class. Case and point. My roommate is a math major- and she comes home and loves to play with the flower sticks, juggling balls, and diablo that I bought for this class- I on the other hand have been practicing them for assessment...my roommate WISHES this was her homework.
Before this class, and before this series of classes I knew I loved being active, I just never knew hw many different ways I was able to do so. This class has taught me incredible life skills and activities not to mention that it challenged me in a way that I'm not sure I have ever been challenged before in my life. Along with this, in the past 2 years I have made some of the best friends I will ever have...and we are all so different. Experiences like this are unbelievable blessings, and I am so filled with gratefulness towards the opportunities I have encountered this quarter.
As we embark on a new part of our lives- many of us will be student teaching and then looking for jobs, while others of us will continue to finish school or start a graduate degree...either way you look at it, we are pretty much all going our separate ways. The funny thing about this is that I know each and every one of my Cohort classmates will have a special place in my heart. I also know there will be many phone calls, text messages and e-mails to come in the years ahead to share lifes joys, triumphs, sorrows and various other news- these are people that have changed my life and will continue to be a part of it. This class was not only about alternative types of physical activities and circus arts, but also giving us a chance to see how deep the relationships we share with one another are.
As I sign off in this final blog, I want to say that, "When life hands you lemons- make lemonade...but then call a cohort member and know everything will be OK!"
Love and smiles until we meet again...
