Personal Reflection #1

This week, specifically on Wednesday and Friday, we learned about relationships, and what are good things about our gender and the opposite gender. I have learned a lot in the past two classes about relationships and the way boys think, communicate, and deal with things. I find it funny and ironic that I am learning about all of this stuff a year after I had to deal with my ex-boyfriend and all of the drama involving it. It was funny to realize what the other girls in my class thought about boys, because some of it (and some of the female characteristics) related to my ex-boyfriend. The thing that I mostly related to and learned from was when we made a list of good, bad, and barriers in a relationship. As I looked at the good list, I realized I barely had any of those characteristics, and the ones that were in my past relationship were bad or barriers. The most important thing in a relationship is communication, and I did not have that at all, and it was partially my fault. Other factors were barely any trust, we barely knew each other, religion...and others. I'm glad that these past two classes helped me see that I'm better off without him, and it wouldn't have worked out in the first place.
