I choose to blog about the conversation of the self we had in class on Tuesday. It really got me thinking about how I see myself and if I know myself as well as I thought. I'm in a relationship right now and I'm really happy in it, however you can't not think about how well you know yourself and how not knowing yourself can affect your relationship. I had to ask my boyfriend if he was happy, and explain what I learned in class about "the self." He thought I was over thinking things, and I agreed because I'm happy and so is he. This is something that would be really interesting to talk to my students about when I start teaching. I never learned this in family consumer science classes in high school and if I had then I would have started thinking more about myself sooner. It would help out a lot of students in high school to make better decisions for themselves, which would be a good thing at that age.
