Women’s Study Class

I love my women’s study class. It has taught me many of things in the world, and how to look at more than one point of view. When I started taking this class, I was anti-woman. And I am a woman. I could not stand women, or their whining and complaining that they are being done so wrong. From this class I have taking a better understanding them, and where they are coming from. But opinion stays the same. I still can’t stand the whining and complaining, and the wanting to feel sorry for themselves. My grandmother gaves me a statement a while ago. She told me “Don’t talk about it, Be about it” I have gained respect for women who want to be about changing to one day reach a day of feminism, but I still lack the respect for those who just talk and complain the rest of the time. This class has enlightened me. I have more knowledge, and a better outlook on life for myself as woman. I have gained more respect for myself and what I can do. After week 10, millions of things happened, my cousin went in the hospital with a stroke, with millions of boys in the family and being the only girl, I took care of his children, my grandmother soon after in the hospital, i looked after her. I had an uncle pass away, and I as a woman took care was in charge. When I agreed to go on a blind date which is stupid had the gentlemen believe we would try to assault me, but as a stronger woman from this class, I had the strength to turn him. I had the knowledge to obtain power that  I know I have. I could have not finished this class and said, I am women, this is too much stress, life and school. But instead from the readings and the discussions with the other women in the class, I have a better understanding of being woman and am more proud to be a woman. I am no longer ashamed of being a woman. I now know how to embrace who I am as woman. I enjoyed this class more than I thought. It challenged me, and for that I am thankful.
