Truth is the encompassment of all perspectives that make up a moment in
history. As journalists, our job is to assemble together as many of the
perspective pieces of this unfathomable puzzle. Each day we add many
pieces to the puzzle of our personal truth.
Through SJP, I have gained
cultural knowledge and global perspective. I had thought some pieces in
my puzzle were in the right place, but SJP has proved me wrong and
repositioned them. The student diversity has enhanced my cultural
awareness; for instance, never before had I talked to a Pakistani Muslim
student about Islam. The counselors' and speakers' global points of
view has also eroded my previous ignorance about international politics
and its impacts.
My puzzle is far from finished, but more pieces have been put together.
