W. Keith Sgrillo I feel as though this thought of the conscious and unconscious working side by side is extremely interesting. For me, it is a very positive idea that much of what we do is unconscious. It helps to disspell the idea of "fate". I do not like the idea that I have a plan set out for me. That I am following some sort of script. The idea that not only "I" but the rest of me is doing things to creat a new and ever changing story gives me a stronger sense of self. I think this idea is crucial to us as an educator because it hleps us to understand and appreciate the differences that exsist in our students. It also leads me to feel a sense of hope because it suggests the abilty to change the present stories we have, especially those that are negative.
