My expectations for this class are for everyone to be respectful, on time, and to come to class prepared. My expectations with the instructor would be to establish a connection based on trust and guidance. Expectations I have to each other should be to learn in a safe space, listening to one another when someone is speaking, and to begin to know one another. During high school, we are taught to be responsible for our learning, especially since our education is defined by our ideals and efforts. Based on past connections with my teachers, I found that it was easier to establish a connection by speaking a little bit about ourselves to each other, such as giving a secret and getting one in return. When it comes to learning alongside my peers, it is imperative that we do not judge each other for trivial reasons, especially when we are learning together and individually, not one or the other.
