1) I believe that I have a respectful mind. I understand other people fairly well and I realize that we all have differences. Before judging one person for something, I realize where they are coming from. This helps me understand them, which in turn assists in me working well with many people. When I was younger, I thought for some reason that everyone in the world thought like me. Irrational? Yes. But I feel like I have lived a very very sheltered life, I have been surrounded by people who share the same beliefs as I do. It was not until this year that I fully understood that not two people are alike. We all come from different backgrounds and walks of life. Therefore, everyone has different personalities. After learning this important lesson, I think I have become more understanding of others.
2) Exhibit curiosity: I am a very curious person about everything. I always want to be "in the know." If I am confused or I don't understand a topic I try my very best to find as much information about it so I can be informed. I love learning new things and I feel like my sense of curiousity helps me discover new subjects. This is a useful skill that I feel as if will be beneficial next year as I take college level courses.
See other points of view: I have a lot of respect for other people's opinions and thoughts on a topic. I feel like by listening to different viewpoints, it helps me make a more informed and educated opinion. In order to see other points of view, I think it is also important to see where people are coming from that way I can understand it more fully.
Exhibit respect for other viewpoints: I think this point goes hand in hand with seeing other points of view. In order to see other viewpoints, I must also respect them. I cannot judge a person based on their opinion over a subject. In order to respect the viewpoint, I must respect the person. By executing this, I can become a more educated individual.
3) I feel like I have learned a lot after working on this blog assignment. Broadway theater has always been fascinating to me, so I was very excited to devote my whole blog to the prestigious Tony Awards. I learned so much more about Broadway musicals and the award process. I think it was very convenient that I started this blog a month before the Tony Award nominations were announced (which was a coincidence). Not only did I learn about my topic, but I also found out fairly quickly that blogging really isn't that hard. I must admit I wasn't looking forward to blogging, but in the end I found it rather enjoyable. I am glad Mrs. Sander introduced us to this other piece of technology! :)
