I really like this class.

I have learned so much about mental health.

There are many different aspects of mental health. Identifying a mental disorder has so many layers to it. The environment is definitely one of the main aspects that I look to since it is so influential. I feel that everyone’s environment is a main factor in their mental health. This both in positive and negative ways. Sometimes it can be the relationships that surround you or the lack of good treatment available.

It is so important for rental health to receive more awareness. Often it is misinterpreted in media, especially in the form of film, due to the wrong intention behind it. Mental disorders are not for entertainment. I learned these things in this class. It made me passionate that these problems surrounding mental illness get addressed.

The projects are fun.

I really enjoyed the composition in two genres project. I chose to write from the perspectives of Merricat Blackwood and Constance Blackwood on the night their family was murdered. I like being creative so I actually had a lot of fun doing this project. I was able to interpret things however I kept myself from getting too out of hand! Perspective is really important because that is how people see the world, it explains their reasoning. I wanted to play with perspective while also keeping their original character true. I just filled in gaps with my own personal touch. I enjoyed it a lot!
