My name is Ryan and I am a student at Westborough High School and I am proud to have been able to take Facing History and Ourselves. Before taking this course I was less tolerant as a person and that has changed after what I have experienced in the last few months. I never really used to think about what I was saying and how a slight comment can easily affect a person’s life. Now I do think about that everyday and try to not let anything slip out for it could harm someone. This course taught me a lot of lessons and I am happy to say that it has made me a better person. No other course that I have taken has had the ability to do that.
Previous students who took this course repeatedly said that it was one of their favorite classes, if not the best one that they have ever taken. I have to agree with them completely. I chose this class because of how many high remarks it got and I wanted to take a course that had subject matter that could affect someone’s life. When I selected this course I knew the work was not going to be rigorous but I liked what the class had to offer, which was primarily talking about the Holocaust, which I have become a lot more informed about and it has made me more comfortable with a wide range of topics. Facing History and Ourselves is a great course for someone to find the person they really are. So many lessons are brought up and the primary focus is the Holocaust and what it did to a person’s life. This was an intense course content wise, but easy the most interesting and should be taken by all students.
