My First Week at the English Cafe!
Hey everyone! This past week, I completed my first two weeks of volunteering at the English Café at Northwest Regional Library. I can definitely say that this style of volunteering is a completely new experience for me, but I’ve also learned a lot from it. My transition into becoming a classroom assistant for the English…
My Third Week at FSU CML
For the last 7 years, I have wanted to be a small animal veterinarian. I had never been interested in large animals, wildlife or the research aspect of veterinary medicine until recently. This week, I observed a class at the lab as they were dissecting a hammer head shark. This was a really unique and…
Raven Joseph: Getting Started at StarterStudio
I started my internship at StarterStudio on Monday, May 22nd. I woke up early that morning and aimed to get there about 30 minutes early just in case I got lost. I also gave myself this time because I knew it was in downtown Orlando and I would have to calculate parking and time to…
Greetings from Zamboanguita!
The transition from Florida to the Phillippines has been easier than I imagined. Linguistically, there are many different dialects that are present, however, the main two languages spoken where I am stationed are English and Visayan. Culturally, there are many differences between here and home, however, I am keeping myself open to new experiences and…
My Second Week at FSUCML
My second week at FSU Coastal and Marine Lab included a lot more time in the experimental hatchery. It was great to be in the hatchery again with the staff that I volunteered with during the Spring Semester. Since last Friday, I have become involved in three projects: intertidal sampling, subtidal tonging and an experiment…
A week in life at FSU in the summer
Over the past couple weeks, I definitely have gotten myself in a good routine. I like to do my class observations on Monday mornings and then give myself a few hours to go home and eat before I come back to campus for tutoring. On Tuesday’s I schedule my tutoring from 2 to 3 so…
Getting Used to TEFL
Being in Tallahassee still, I haven’t had to adjust to many structural inequalities. One thing that did take some getting used to was the CIES student I am tutoring. Going into this, I expected to be working with students my age and even students who are younger, so, when I signed up to do tutoring,…
Starting TEFL
Since my summer experience is here at FSU, I did not have to adjust too much to being in Tallahassee. One thing I am having to get used to is being here without having much to do. While my TEFL class keeps me busy, it isn’t the same as having a regular class schedule every…
Starting my Civic Leadership Fellowship
This past week I have been transitioning into my summer experience. I am in a unique position as my fellowship is completely remote, so I find myself having to balance duties and responsibilities within the fellowship with the excitement that comes with being back home for the summer. I have found that planning out the…
Meanwhile, in Pavarotti …
In San Lucas Toliman, students in middle school in the Pavarotti Education Center are in Primero, Segundo, and Tercero Basico. This is the equivalent of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. My schedule during my first week has been adjusted around the schedule of the students who begin school at 7:20 a.m. (similar to the U.S.).…
