Blog # 1-- 1/26/2010
Walking into class on the first day is usually a no sweet situation. I normally have no problem coming in and not worrying where I sit. But today was different, I felt like all eyes were on me, even though it wasn't true. I recently got into a car accident and have some scratches and red markings on my face. i felt that people would be taken a back, but luckily the students at CSUMB look past the superficial things. Once I got settled in the front row we had to introduce our selves and I had to start! I just wanted to get it over with and just explain what happened to my face. I didn't want people wondering about what happened and jumping to conclusion. I was glad for my turn to be over and felt like no one had stared at me, again we have a very thoughtful student body. My personal worries quickly dissipated when Ms. Porras started speaking. At first listen I was scared to hear such a thick accent. Nut thankfully it just took a couple of minutes to get used to her voice and I was glad she acknowledged her accent might cause a problem and doesn't mind if she's told to slow down. It showed to me that she has humility and is conformable in her own skin, unlike me on this day.

It is very refreshing to notice that we all feel a bit intimidated the first day of classes (you for your accident and me for my accent!). You did a great job contributing with thoughtful comments from the very beginning. Thanks!
