Being in this class this semester taught me a lot about myself this semester. I was able to get out of my comfort zone and was able to work with other fellow students, that I have never been acquainted with. By working with each of my classmates throughout this semester I was able to get to know them individually, and was able to become friends with them as well. Before I joined this class I was just an average student that went to class everyday, always doing assignments in class that were assigned, not being engaged. But coming into this class this semester turned everything around for me. I was able to make so many connections with other students that are different from me in many ways.
With this class I was able to expand my horizon, and I realized that every class isn’t the same. For me being a History major here at Coastal Carolina I was able to get hands on experience by going to different museums throughout Horry County and was able to see how museums work from behind the scenes.For the entire semester my fellow classmates and myself have been working diligently to get our exhibits ready, for the public to see. We all were grouped with partners to select a certain artifact that caught our attention that would eventually be placed in the exhibit we have been working on. Our class teamed up with another in order to make this exhibit a success.
For me to be apart of this is such a great feeling because there is only a select few that can say that they participated in this. This was a wonderful experience for me because I had so much fun this semester, just by being in this class. We had a lot of work assigned to us in class, but this is something we all worked really for and we are really excited to see how it turns out.
This class has helped me out in so many ways, when it comes to finding the job I want to pursue after I graduate, and it has helped me get more involved with my community. This course provided so much information on helping every student be aware of what they needed to do in order to be where they wanted in their dream careers. Without this class I would not be able to be apart of something so amazing such as this exhibit we all have been working on. I am thankful for all of the knowledge I have gained throughout this course and if I could take it again I would. I think that every student, including students that major in History, should sign up for a class like this because it really gives you a different perspective.
