My favorite class is a tie between SW 310 Structural Oppression and SW 498 Mass Incarceration. To immerse myself in the outside world and other people's experience of our broken system made me realize how passionate I am to support people to break boundaries and chains in our system. These classes truly made me excited to learn and gave me a deeper want to learn.
