Final Reflection

Throughout this entire year I've learned so much in global connections and gained knowlege that I hope to keep close to me in the hopes of becoming and mainting myself a better person in the hopes to make an impact in this world.One concept peticularly that cought my attention is race in America
Firstly i'd like to point out that fact that america for the longest time and until today has had a very difficult time coping with race due to the fact of lighter skin being not only "superior" to the rest but also most desired to have.I'm not saying its right, no one should ever have to feel guilty and have to hate the very skin they were born with,Myself as an example for the longest time was not very happy with my skin color due to the fact that i was looked down upon by society as a minority an outcast in my elementary school all because i was too "dark" for them.Thanks to this class I'm learning to be fully accept myself to be proud of who i am,to love the skin I'm in.Besides what defines us as a individuals should not be our skin color but our ability to impact the world.We as a nation have been through so much from the Native Americans to the African Americans to Hispanics to now a days everyone who falls victims to racism.Global has taught me to learn from the past and we as the future hold in our hand the key to success but not committing the same mistakes the previous generations have.Race should not matter we are all the same under our skin ,we live on the same planet,share the same air,share the same sky,live under the same sun.There is only one thing i know for a fact is that we are all humans and deserve the same equal treatment regardless of our history.Thus please class of 2014 let us go out there into the real world full of knowledge and determined to change the world into a better place.
