Should a student in the Passion class be asked to critique them self?

     

 My first thought after this question was, of course that a student can be asked to critique them self. Because, this is a form how the students can realize their weaknesses and therefore be helped to overcome them and one day for sure finish college, just like Christopher McCandless did, "In May 1990, Chris graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, where he'd been a columnist for, and editor of, the student newspaper, The Emory Wheel" p.20 One of the greatest tools that have help me get through my Education was taking in commentary from somebody else. Trust me, that has not always been an easy task for me, to take a commentary from someone else. Especially, if I know they look a little argument. But when you reflect back to it, it's not so bad. I end up learning that, when someone is telling you their truth, it's more their reality, but not yours. But by someone expressing they way of their opinion towards you, can either push to get ideas and to do more to achieve your goals. The only result is to think on it, work on it and to walk toward it! 

          My second thought about this question was that some students need help to find their passion in Education. Your passion is what creates you and leaves people with an image about you. For example my passion for education continue to look up to a very inspirational famous creators that are within the field or people in who have influence me in my life. They have provided me or gave me confident. As my parents although are away from me, but they always tell me, "you have the ability to continue with your education, although sometimes you feel like you don't, you have to move on." Once was giving me the tools to stay true and to except that education is within everyday use. Secondly is that I can be understand, if I just talked. Being that English is my second language and always had fear that I wouldn't be able to express myself right like how I would do in Spanish. Professor like Sean McFarland, who teaching skills, are so real, and who is guilty for me being here, taking English 7. Because he once told me that "You had the ability to write essays", those were some great words of encouragement. I needed it at that time, because I was thinking about dropping the class. Also, in this class where every student can relate to a question. A classroom where all the student collaborates their ideas, concerns and passions. All these amazing things, specific ways of lessons, is what make a passionate student. Therefore, a classroom setting can take real life shape in a real classroom, and form better education for students.
