At the beginning of this semester, when Shalin told the class that we would be completing a multicultural action project, I was honestly annoyed at the fact that it would require so much work. In high school, we had to do similar projects and yet I learned absolutely nothing from them. They required immense amount of work and I gained no knowledge.
