I am so unbelievably proud of all my fellow TAs who presented at the CSA conference. You guys were so professional, entertaining, and moving. I, like many of my friends, was close to tears at some points! You guys did such a great job of communicating our philosophy, and it made me so happy and proud to be a part of this community.
I also am so proud of my class today. I just realized that they have changed over the course of the semester as far as how they communicate and discuss things in class. It hit me today that I no longer have to prompt them to think of how things relate to the bigger picture like I used to; they blew me away with their analysis of the topics we were discussing. I feel like they really understand what the sociological imagination is and they are using it without even thinking anymore!! I couldn't be happier. They all seem to really appreciate the way we run things and I can't wait to see what I get back for the open assignment I gave them today.
What an amazing experience this has been. I am so grateful that I have found what I love to do, and that I already get to experience it in such a supportive and inspiring community.
