Attitudinal Responses

     What? No way is that acceptable. Why would anyone think that ..(insert objective subject here).. is acceptable. This is how I thought as i walked into this class room in January. I was very quick to stick to my thoughts and decisions without hearing other sides of the stories. Why was i so quick to stick to my guns and go with my gut all the time? I don't know what made me be so one sided, or so biased in my decision making. One reason i think that i did respond the way I did the first few weeks of class was because it made me feel comfortable just going with what i had already had an opinion on. It was the easy way out or the easy road.
     But my primary certitudes lead me to stick to what i had already learned i was nervous to leave my walls and try to see other peoples points of view. I am no means an expert now at seeing both sides of every story, but i have learned to open up and learn the facts about both sides more than i every did before. Some of my ideas have changed on some subjects and some have remained the same.
     The thoughts and discussions in class that we had during the first month of class didn't really draw my attention. I was slow to react and actually enjoy them for what they were. I feel like the reason that changed was because i stepped outside of my own mental walls and was willing to accept other peoples thoughts for what they were. Opinions or facts it didn't matter to me, I found myself giving ear to both. Some were extremely far fetched ideas that my mind would instantly jump on and say, "yeah right" or, "this is absurd." At the first of the year my mind would have done just that and stayed right there saying they were crazy, but as the first month passed my mind opened up to the thoughts that were different and i didn't push them away at first contact. I believe this has helped me to increase what i have learned and my capability of learning.
     As I have looked back at my OTM's and also my topic writings i have noticed the change in the depth I have reached and also the variety of the sides talked about. I began by writing on subjects from one stand point and never moved my feet to see the other side of the subject, but as the semester went on I noticed a change in the way I looked at everything in this class but not only in this class but I also began to change the way I look at everything I see in life.
     Seeing and noting all of these different sides of peoples stories and their thoughts is actually what has led to me changing the way I think more than anything else so far in this semester or any semester that I have been in college.
     So i have gone from What? No way is that acceptable, why would anyone think that ..(insert objective subject here).. is acceptable. To okay, where are you doing with this... Which by the way is the more productive way of thinking when it comes to learning and expanding ones knowledge.
