writing pt 2

I feel we had so many volunteers, that we almost had too many. Because I we had enough volunteers managing tours, I was able to be a tour guide, which was my favorite experience the entire time. I literally got chills in the many different rooms and it was a completely different experience than going through the practice rehearsal. The lighting and emotion of the actors really impacted all the viewers and me. From watching the participants through the tunnel and listening to their feeling on the overall experience in the processing room, I saw how great the influence of the Tunnel was on so many individuals by their changed perspective and emotions from before and after the tour.
This class and the Tunnel has been a beneficial experience for me. I loved the discussions and would not change a thing, as to how regular class was run. The discussions were one of the most influential aspects of this class for me, because I got to participate and listen to all the different opinions our class shared on the many controversial topics we covered. For once in my life, I felt I was in a safe environment to speak my mind and say whatever I wanted without feeking I was being judged. The Tunnel of Oppression class should definitely keep the discussion portion of the class next year.
Consequently, my perspectives and interests were remodeled to see the world through less superficial lenses, and I realized how much society needs to be more aware of the issues of oppression and the importance of social juctice and human rights. I have gained such a greator appreciation of how fortunate I am to be the person I am today and because of that I have so much to offer society. This class has taught me that it is my choice to be a leader and that it is my right to have the opportunity to make a positive difference and better society.
