What have you learned about youeself during this course?

             Hillfield Strathallen’s World Issues course has not only encouraged me to become more informed and knowledgeable about pressing current events in my backyard and around the globe, but has given me the opportunity to share my thoughts and present my opinions within a friendly classroom environment. The World Issues program has taught me to develop my critical thinking skills, formulating opinions, honing my debating skills, present my ideas in an inspiring, constructive, enthusiastic manner, and learning the importance of being informed about global issues. Because of this program I have learned where I stand with many of Canada’s and the World’s issues that we have studied, discussed, and debated in class, and I now feel as though I have learned a great deal about myself. In the future I will continue to practice these valuable skills, and will cherish the opinions I have formulated especially when making important choices that will hopefully insight positive change not only in myself, but the world around me.
