All that being said, we're giving group presentations over the last couple of weeks. One group showed a clip from "Diversity Day" from The Office at the end of their presentation to lighten the mood (learning about oppressed populations is a pretty heavy topic). My professor was laughing and referred to the clip as "Diversity - Fast Food Style." I'm not sure what to say about this at the moment... so I'll leave to you to watch and consider...

Diversity Day
One of my classes this semester is Counseling Diverse Populations. I have learned so much and always learning more in this class.... awareness and understanding of my own background and cultural identity as well as what that means in working with people from backgrounds different from mine. I have to put forth effort into learning and understanding about other cultures, and that you never really completely know what it is like to be in someone else's situation. This course has a huge workload, so it's not my favorite at the moment. I just have to remind myself that I know I'll look back on this class and be like, Wow that class enriched and shaped my future graduate career. Perseverance. Serious workload left to complete at the end of the semester ---- like 2 projects: Diversity experiential project (topic: Physical Disability) and Collaborative Wiki project (African American populations), Role Play critique paper, Final Exam, and Revision for my Cultural Autobiography paper.
