1. One out of the nine learning outcomes I feel that I have had the most growth in the sixth one, recognize and examine the importance of sexuality across the lifespan. One major thing I have learned and want to do in my career is work with children and with that I want to start to talk to them about sexuality. Before taking this course I used to think that we shouldn’t talk to children about the topics of sex and believed that talking about sex and sexuality is a taboo. However, after taking this course it has made me realize that we should actually be talking about sexuality with children and trying to create an open discussion with them. An example of this happened to me over spring break when I was babysitting my little cousin and we were

My boyfriend and I also did a yes/no/maybe list. A third learning outcome I feel that I have grown in is the ninth learning outcome, enhance your personal life by formulating a Personal Sexual Policy- an ethical/moral foundation for making decisions regarding an individual’s sexual rights and expectations. This learning outcome is similar to my second learning outcome I feel that I have grown in. I feel like after taking this class I have grown in the aspects of the ninth learning outcome because I now know myself a lot better and know what I want and don’t want within sexuality topics and what I am comfortable with and not related to sexuality and sex. I am more confident and comfortable talking about the topics we have learned about in this class with not only my boyfriend but also some of my friends.

I choose this learning outcome as one I still need to improve upon because I still need to get more comfortable talking about sexuality-related subjects maturely within the context of various situations. For example, I want to work with young children and I need to get over the taboo of not talking about sexuality-related topics with them because in reality it’s actually a good idea to introduce sexuality-related topics to them and to create/start an open discussion where then can feel comfortable asking questions and learning. Also realizing that they only may want to know the answer to their question and not wanting to talk about sex or having a big lecture or discussion about topics. I also feel that sometimes that when I’m with my friends we don’t talk about it in a mature way and we joke and kid around with each other and I need to realize or stand up for someone if I notice that they are maybe uncomfortable or that it is going too far or even correct someone who thinks that they know everything just because they are experienced when they may not be
