Journal #1- Challenge Day.

The first week of this class we watched a video called Challenge Day. It was about a huge get together of all these different students, student with different ethnic backgrounds, students that a very smart, some that don't usually attend classes and students that get ridiculed for being different. The students were all brought together and they all got a chance to talk about their feelings, how they feel hurt.
I, personally, think that Challenge Day is an extremely good idea. It brings students together to let out their frustrations together, and to realize they are not the only ones. Also, help them realize that they are not alone and that other people have similar pains and frustrations. 
Also, I think that this would help break down the barriers, and prejudice between students. I believe that slowly will help bring judging and bullying to an end. And if there is a slight chance that we, as a student population, could bring it all to an end, why not try?
