Coming into this course, I had no idea what to expect. I didn't even realize that the course was about sexual health until I arrived at the first session. Although it wasn't the first thing that I really wanted to learn about, and teach others about, after learning the basics, doing a little research, and putting the topic into perspective through the assignments and the lessons, I was so ready to teach. I was excited to be in front of a group of adolescents again, and it was great to teach them about useful information. In the context of my group's presentation, I think it was really helpful to clarify to them what it really means to cross the line.
As a whole, it was really helpful to learn about what the other groups were teaching their students and the topics that they found most important. I love that this course was able to teach me how to work with people that I don't know, as the course was so short that you have a shorter time to get to know everyone.
In terms of my thoughts on sexual health, I think that some of my assumptions have been proven wrong and my eyes have been opened to the wealth of knowledge that adolescents already have about sexual health, whether it is through their parents, classroom, classmates, or older siblings. I think it was really interesting to see how many of the students did not even find the topic awkward, and it looked like some were genuinely interested.
Thanks for teaching me so much in this course!
