Today I had the pleasure of attending my Active Citizenship class. I am so happy that I attended and that this class is even in existence because, today – we learned about racism.
I had absolutely no idea what racism was before today. I am so glad Mohawk College is investing in my future and trying to get me to be an active citizen.
As a journalism student, being out in the public and doing reports about real stories simply isn’t enough. As a person, the fact that I have spent years volunteering at various organizations and have held many full time jobs isn’t enough. Instead of having me do something that is helping society, I am overly enthused and rivetted that I am spending 2 hours a week sitting in a classroom learning that saying phrases such as “visible minorities” is BAD.
I am also just so…SO… happy that in retrospect, when I pictured what today’s class looked like, I saw the hard earned money I made have gasoline poured on it in a camp fire as the flames got higher and higher.
Thank you Mohawk. Now I know what diversity is.
LMAO!
