John and Joe are
construction workers and they decide to start eating lunch together. They agree
to meet at 12:00PM on Monday. They sit down and begin there to eat. John enjoys
his lunch but Joe is visibly upset. Joe says, “I hate peanut butter sandwiches”!!
The next day at 12:00PM they take out their lunches and began to eat. John
enjoys his lunch but Joe is visibly upset. Joe says, “I hate peanut butter
sandwiches”!! The next day at 12:00PM they take out their lunches and began to
eat. John enjoys his lunch but Joe is visibly upset. Joe says, “I hate peanut
butter sandwiches”!! This time John cannot take it anymore. He says to Joe, “We
don’t you ask your wife to make you something else for your lunch.” Joe
responds by saying, “Don’t bring my wife into this. I make my own sandwiches.”!
This course has challenged me
to learn to make my own educational sandwiches. I have decided to project my
thoughts via my blog more often. My wife often tells me that everything I write
can a dissertation. But that is not the point of creative communication. The point
of creative communication is to connect, inform, and inspire. The way how my mind
works can cause me to miss out on this. I read some of the other post and blog
entries and I must say that I think to myself that I am not measuring up. My specialty
would be to write research paper or an essay around race, religion, sports,
African-American history, pop culture, or music. But a fresh approach for me is
to simply engage in the process and not try to be so ahhhhhh I don’t know, you tell
me. #CMC11

Making your own educational sandwich is a grand idea. I understand fully the challenges of this course. I think like you, many of us are trying to find our way as we have been taken out of our comfort zone. But that is the idea, right? If we embrace it we will appreciate the growth we experience here even more. Like you, I have the same thoughts about not measuring up when I write and I suspect that may be the thinking of a lot more people than you imagine. Like you said, the point of creative communication is to connect, inform and inspire. So the take-away for me, is to just "simply engage in the process and try not to be so ahhhhh." There I told you! I guess we all have to do a better job of 'connecting' and being open!
