Roleplay Reflection

In the online roleplay, I was a student.  Although my post/position was not a contributing factor in the ultimate decision of the board, I felt like I was an active member of the dialogue when other people responded to my post.  It shouldn't have been difficult to imagine myself back in the mind of a 17-year-old since I spend a large part of my day surrounded by people that age, but it was still difficult to remain in character.  On the other hand, there was freedom in creating and being a character because I could express some more extreme views than my own that I thought would be more interesting in the discussion.

A part of the discussion ended up being about gender, and I found it interesting that the two male board members sided with the more evidence-based argument while the female board member sided with the more emotion-based argument.
