TOPIC: LAST TESTIMONY

As I write this blog entry with teary eyes I am just happy for being a student in the AGLE module, because of it my vocabulary has improved dramatically and am happy for the experience i had. Our lecturer was and is one of a kind because she guided us through this journey with patience. I learned how to reference which will be required even in second year because it is important to acknowledge the owner. We also attended AGLE provided by our lecturer which also helped in case we didn't understand the lecturer. I have also enjoyed writing these blogs because with we were able to express ourselves and interacting with other students.All i can say is please keep doing the great job because it is appreciated. 

We wrote an argumentative essay and we also wrote a counter argument on it. Education is a tool that can be used to alleviate poverty among our society. Education can also be used to reduce the dominance of one gender over the other in work places, for example the dominance of male over females. Education is the reason why we have feminist who advocate for the rights of women and that we can be in the same level with males as long as there is respect among us.
