Final Post

I would say that I have both a respectful and ethical mind. I will speak my mind but I don't like to completely trash others. I will recognize the other person's viewpoint while also trying to prove my own opinion. I don't consider myself someone who always thinks my way is the only way, but I definitely say what I feel. I am open to other viewpoints and try to see both sides of the equation. I also have an ethical mind. I won't offer things that are solely for my benefit. Sometimes it is easy to be selfish, but I generally think of others before myself. This is not to say that I let other people walk on me, I'm just not the female dog in the group who only wants to talk about herself. Throughout this year, I have exhibited curiosity, engaged in intellectual discussion, and challenged my own beliefs. My curiosity is evident in my essays where I challenge the prompt. In some, I recall asking questions to the reader which proves my curiosity for an answer and a challenge to my beliefs. My ability to accept other opinions goes hand and hand with my ability to write about and challenge my beliefs. I don't have a problem writing about moral things because I know what I believe and if I have a question I'll ask. In group discussions and blogs, I would offer my answer to a question and often times raise valid points. After developing my blog I realized that I rely a lot on my education. I love the Beatles and my term paper last year on the Fab Four earned me the second highest grade in the class. There is a lot to say about things we enjoy learning about and sometimes just writing it down can be hard. It is difficult to express the utter obsession I have without the sources I need. I had to reference back to my research paper in order to obtain the best information possible. This shows that I am an avid learner; I like to soak in information. Sometimes the most interesting and valid information is not on-line; sometimes you have to go out and do your own research.

Needless to say, there is much to be learned about the Beatles. They are a group that changed rock n' roll as we know it and they continue to inspire music enthusiasts around the world. I didn't get everything on here that I wanted to say...I guess I found myself in a time crunch/period of procrastination. But I can tell you that the Beatles are a group of hunky British lads with messy black hair who will never go out of style. mmmmmhhmmm rawr. =)
