4- In classrooms, you are asked to assume positions that are not just intellectual but also physical and spatial, even discursive (in the sense that classrooms position when and how you speak and write). How do classrooms position you? How would you like to position yourself?

Position

You are a normal college student. One day, your class is having a discussion over the new topic the teacher just tough. The discussion went on for over a half hour, suddenly, a hand just raised and a new voice joins in the discussion. You might felt quite shock, because you didn’t notice that this new kid exist in the classroom. Nobody notice this student existence during the discussion. He came out of no where. Well that student might be me in your classroom.

I admitted that I am not very talkative person. I barely talked in any of my class unless I had a very important question. So you can say that I am quiet listener. You might not know that I am there, but I will be there listening to the whole discussion. I kind like a historian, I might not be involved with the discussion, but I know exactly what happened during the discussion. I will ask questions that what I thought might be important to the discussion but not very often.

I want to be more involved in the discussion, not just a historian that set out side of discussion and record event happening. I want to be one of the people that are in the discussion, that a person who just appears out of no where and disappear after fifteen seconds. I am trying to change my unwillingly to join the discussion until I have a must asked question little by little. It is a hard road ahead, especially since this trait in marked into your personality, but I know that it have to be change if I want to success in college and the real world.
