Post #19: What is the Most Important Skill That You've Learned Through Your Participation in this Course, and How Will You Use it as You Move on With Your Life?

I feel that through this course I have learned two extremely important skills. First, I feel that I've learned the skill of connectedness. I have learned the importance of remaining aware of and connected with the world around me. This important skill will play a significant part in my later life, as a have learned to have an opinion on all matters, since sitting on the fence equates to inaction. Remaining aware and opinionated will lead to passion and an increased incentive to take action upon areas of interest around the world, in my opinion. Second, I feel that I've learned the skill of presentation. Regardless of what I decide to go on to do, public speaking is always a much needed skill. Having the ability to represent yourself well in situations such as job interviews, as well as presentations being made in future schooling, is essential. World issues has made me more comfortable and confident with presentations and public speaking. Both of these skills will more than likely play a significant part in my future, so I feel that I can rightly say that through taking the course world issues, I find myself more prepared for what may lie ahead.
