Two Wins in One Week

What better way to celebrate a great day with a blog post?

The last couple of weeks have been crazy for me. Heck, spring break alone I did an average of three hours of homework a day. But it was worth it for a couple of reasons.

First off, we made it to nationals for SIFE. In fact, we did pretty well. Our presentation was wonderful and we had room to play with in our speech. Overall, a great way to start the week.

Then, yesterday, I gave two presentations in two of my psychology classes. The first one was a debate for my adolescence class, where my group chose the topic "teaching abstinence-based education in schools." I was con to the issue, because I wanted a challenge. I took the side of abstinence-only education with the argument of religion/morals backing it up. After our presentation, I was drilled with questions from the class. People brought up things from the Muslim religion, to differing morals, to all sorts of things. It didn't phase me.

Now, I don't believe abstinence-only education should be taught in schools. I think it leaves students uninformed and with no other option. However, I do believe abstinence is the only way and I strongly agree my faith is what backs up that belief. I do feel everyone should agree with me, because it is based on Christianity, but I know not everyone is a Christian. If you were to sample my adolescence class, I'd be surprised if I wasn't the only Christian by the comments I received.

Sometimes, the minority opinion is the one that has the best results at the end of the road. In this case, that is 100% true.
