In the majority of my classes at Bucknell, I have found that I tend to be more reserved when it comes to expressing my opinions and raising my voice in class. When a thought comes to my mind, my initial instinct is to keep it to myself and not to share it with the class. I feel that I lack self confidence and question if what I am going to say is worth it. After thinking about it and questioning it for so long, the conversation has often already moved onto a different topic or someone has already said what I was going to say. In this class, I am going to try to not only voice my opinion and speak out more, but also try to go with my gut instinct and not let myself second guess what I am thinking. I feel that in this class I will be able to become more comfortable in the classroom environment and be able to say what truly comes to my mind. I also think this will help me become more comfortable giving presentations in front of the class, whether it be on my own or in a group.
