Learning about and discussing ethical topics in class this year has been truly enjoyable. The issues we read about and discuss are issues that I already naturally talk to my friends about. Being able to relate my personal life to this class has only made it that much more easy to learn. When I was deciding on a major before college, I was thinking about what I wanted to do in life. I knew that I had a passion for sports and so I decided to take the sports route hoping that everything would work out in the end. All I really want is to enjoy my job, and I knew that working in the sports field would definitely allow me to do that. So far in college, I have really loved the classes specific to my major, but it is the classes like these that really remind me that I am on the right track. My favorite TV channel is ESPN and when the same things are being discussed on ESPN as in one of my classes, I knew I had picked something right.
Usually student go through college dreading class and reading and all they really want to do is hang out, party, and somehow magically have the good grades flow to them. And in my case, that is how I feel for most of my non-major specific classes. "Just get the work done the best you can and get this class over with." However, in this class, I looked forward to reading about ethical issues in sports and I looked forward to discussing them in class. Like I said earlier, my friends and I have the same type of discussions regularly, and I would go to class, discuss the same things and then get a grade for it. I could not ask for a class better fitted for me, and I truly enjoyed learning most of the material we went through.
