Hi everyone!
I'm Shaunasi D. Sprain. I'm taking this course because I like to learn more about society to overcome stereotypes and archetypes which I don't like and which are harmful and hurtful to everyone. I'd like to be one of the people who does things always in my life to truly make life better for everyone. I think everyone might become better at understanding and relating well with eachother by taking classes such as this Soc. class.
I've cared about people immensely since I was very young. I used to dream every night for a few years that I would travel to different countries and heal the people there with color,light,good energy, feed them etc. by God's strength running through me. I'm a Christian believer in the best ways I think. These dreams were very vivid as if I was really there. I had an incredible need and want to help, I decided by the time I was 16 that I had to join the Peace Corps. I didn't though because I had to finish High School first and because when I asked people what they thought of or new about the Peace Corps. I got answers like: the Peace Corps is just another government institution that uses the Peace Corps. to get access into communities and sets up shop: government installations, occupations, in the areas Peace Corps. workers get access to. So I figured for any good I may be able to do in the Peace Corps. I still would be working for the government who ultimately has the goal of in one way or another exploiting these people etc. I figured maybe I could find some independent organization which would truly be out just to help people, to teach people skills they needed to better their lives and learn from these people or I could become independently wealthy and set up my own organization and run it good and right. Well, none of this ever has happened so I've participated locally to try to make things better by working at community centers and soup kitchens, groups and clubs for peace and justice and creating a better future, animal rights organizations, and environmental clubs, intiative petitioning etc.
I'm willing to do every good thing I can in my life to help improve everyone's well being truly.
Glad to be in this class. I've taken the first two Sociology courses in this series and think I'm learning a thing or two, so I keep taking them.
I'm married and have a 17 month old son, our first child.
I'm taking an online computer class in addition to this one and I do a part time work study at a local elementary school.
I like every subject and have the goal of learning as many good things as I can in my, for my life, to lead a good healthy happy positive life.
I like especially like performing arts, being a teaching assistant or teacher, and of course Sociology geared studies. I love the great outdoors & creature comforts of indoors.
Here's to making our planet as wonderful and healthy, and being good kind loving environmentally friendly peoples and institutions.
Thanks, Shaunasi
