Reflective post on the class
Honestly, I took this class because it was required. I've been a bit resistant to the increase of technology in our everyday world, and the point of this class is to embrace the technology. Right from the start, I could tell this class would be difficult for me. I kind of slacked off on the blog posts, procrastinating till the last minute to do all of them (sorry Dr. Melton), but I genuinely wanted to help with the ICRH as much as I possibly could. The fact that I could use this class to actually help people really meant alot to me. It forced me to be more open to the possibilities that social media could present us with. When we first launched the ICRH facebook page, I would have bet my life savings that there wouldn't be half as many "likes" of the page that there already are. But now, there are people posting on the page from New York and even different continents saying how inspirational it is for Isabella county to be running this program for the community. I really feel like I'm going to be able to take something away from this class. Its a different feeling than what I get from other classes when all I do is get a good grade. Regardless of what my grade ends up being in this class, I'm proud to say that I had the opportunity to help people who really need it, and with any luck ICRH will be a model for other communities to do the same type of charity work.
