Life Skills - Jan 13, 2014

Jan 13th class was great, i was really engaged, which isn't always easy for me. I felt very encouraged by the sharing about personal concerns around self disclosure. Other people shared similar concerns to my own, specially my teacher Sasha, and I felt validated about my concerns. The ted talk video is one of my very favourite. It was very poignant when she spoke about vulnerability being empowering, and that those who feel included continue to be included (paraphrased). I appreciated this class, the patience people had to listen to me, and the video especially. I went and searched for the same author/speakers interviews with Oprah after class, and enjoyed them as well. They really put into perspective the misconception around vulnerability and sharing your story.
