Participant Comments

Survey Question 3: Is there a memorable moment that you would like to share?

No single moment, but I particularly enjoyed the “self-disclosure” group participants made as a result of the follow up discussions. Self disclosing creates a bonding effect, which allows people to relax and trust.
When the lady from the newspaper came and sat in session, it made me feel good to see I was apart [sic] of something that’s on it’s [sic] way to making an [sic] positive impact on people’s lives.
Working with evarone [sic].
That I’ll never forget working with these nice people, I enjoyed it very very much.
Just being welcome is saying mouthfull [sic].
[The discussion of “Marriage is a Private Affair relating to the issue of arranged marriages and love marriages.] Take responsibility for the choice of partner. If you don’t take responsibility for your action how will you make a difference.
The most memorable moment for me was when the young black man stated he fills [sic] uncomefulble [sic] around white people.
When one of my fellow students remarked that he wasn’t used to dealing with Caucassians [sic]. It surprised and blaffled [sic] me that in this day and age people still have these insecurities and fears.
All has been memorable, I’ve never been in a group like this and I think it’s great. I’m going to share something like this when I get with my grandchildren. Where we all come to gether [sic] and read a story, then share what we think about it.
