Hello everyone!!

Hey there,
So I'm really excited for this class! I was also nervous when I thought about what girls who've taken this class before have said about the courseload, and the heaviness of the material. But after having had the class like one (and a half? lol) times, I'm just so thrilled to be a part of this class!! I get the feeling that Ms. Ingram really knows her stuff and is also willing to hear all of us out, which is really important in a class like this. The Holocaust is a really heavy topic and can sometimes even be taboo, so I'm looking forward to learning enough about it that I can have a real conversation with someone on the topic and contribute my own educated thoughts. I will also take this opportunity to let the class know that I'm currently in the process of converting to Judaism. So this class holds extra special significance for me and is another reason why I'm so excited. It also is a reason that I'm nervous about the class because hearing about the Holocaust, as I know it is for everyone, is extremely hard. But for me, learning about it feels like learning about my personal history/ancestry, as I have a lot of Jewish family members on my mother's side. I appreciate everyone reading this and I'm so excited to get to know everyone better!!
