What This Document Is
This is a personal reflection paper completed for a Human Sexuality (HED 3400) course at Kean University.

It also details the student’s experience presenting a classmate’s assignment to the class.

Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a single student’s response to a specific prompt. It represents one individual’s perspective and is not intended to be a comprehensive overview of sexual development or experiences. It is a personal reflection, not a research paper or clinical analysis.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes a detailed, poetic account of the student’s first orgasm and their initial understanding of their sexuality as a woman. It also includes a reflection on the process of presenting a classmate’s potentially sensitive and challenging personal experience to the class, including the emotional preparation involved and the student’s interpretation of the classmate’s story of bullying. This preview does *not* include the full text of either the student’s personal experience or their classmate’s assignment.
