So much on my mind after reading this wonderful book. I am currently going through many great changed in my life. I'm a month sober, I'm working out again. I completely lost myself. However, I'm slowly finding myself again. I always knew I was (or am) a being. I was trapped in oppression (still am) but now I know a lot more than before.

I got my own copy so I could scribble in it to my heart’s content. This is my second stab at reading this book. I feel more ready for it this time. For a year or more now, I’ve been feeling a profound urge to transform my teaching practice and I think critical pedagogy is going to point me in the right direction. So I am pretty excited. I am even managed to read this on my breaks at work! Actually reading the book was tough. I am not used to reading philosophy. I wish there were more examples, comments from peasants (his term, not mine), templates, or lesson plans. Friends have suggested reading works by Freirean scholars to get what I am looking for.
