Let me start this paper by saying thank you. You have a led a class in which in my opinion, was the best dialogue I have ever seen in my life took place. Let me start by saying I was very fearful of taking this class. I wanted to take a class that would not be hard, but instead I would be able to take something from that I could use after graduation. I felt that social justice 101 could do just that for me. However, taking this class did come with a lot of fear like I said. I knew that when I enrolled in this class, I would be the odd one out. I felt like every class I would be walking into a lion's den. I have attended a university where I have been academically and personally criticized for not agreeing with my fellow students and professors.

I do not want you to think I am typing this because I am trying to suck up to you. I am in no way fearful of failing a 101 class as a graduating senior and don't really feel like you would do that to me anyway. “Sucking up” is not the purpose of me typing this. I considered sending you this in an email after grades were in so you would know that I was genuine about what I was saying. The problem with teaching, and this happens in my field of law enforcement too, is the good employees don't get thanked. Just as good cops rarely receive a thank you I never see good teachers getting a thank you and when it comes to social justice, I think you need a thank you. So after seeing the template for this final exam I figured this was a good place to put it and to just give a few examples on why I am thankful. This class was lead fair, and was also very helpful. We were able to have many conversations as a class and I have personally learned so much that I can use in my field. So many of my stereotypes about social justice were gone and for the first time in my 21 years of living, I had actually decent conversations about social justice issues in which I could talk to someone who did not agree with me and just teach each other about both sides. My goals were met for this class, and I have not criticism to give. Thank you, and you do a very good job at what you do. I do not think anything in this class needs to be
