Pain

This last lecture given by Dr. Feinberg was the most eye opening and depressing lecture I have ever heard in my college career. Everyone had to write about the pain and suffering that they go through everyday. I noticed that pain can come in many different forms, with everything from family lose to feeling like you don't fit in to people dealing with drug additions. The more and more Feinberg read the entries the more I started to feel like my pain wasn't so bad. There are many people out there that have it worse then I do. I have always heard from my parents that I should feel grateful for what I have and that I am very fortunate to have such an amazing life. I never truly saw how fortunate until I realized that the pain entries that were being read were from students sitting right next to me. I had never heard about all of these different types of pain but on television. Hearing that my fellow peers were dealing with huge issues made me reevaluate my own pain. I have learned to deal with my pain in a pretty optimistic manner and will continue to do so after this class. I hope that CSR 309 has helped some of my peers deal with their pains more easily. Being a leader and being able to have a positive outlet to show others what you can do and what you are made of will defiantly help everyone deal with their pain better. Thank you Feinberg for giving us that positive outlet!
