So far I have not run into as many structural inequalities as differences. My community is very small and tight-knit, lessening the presence of structural inequalities. However, I will say that more than the pandemic, access to the internet seems to have created the most differences. The question of how much internet we are consumingContinue reading “Blog 3: Filling in the Gaps”

Urban Green Space in London
Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve last updated, but as of right now, I am currently well into my study abroad experience at FSU London! Over the past few weeks, I’ve explored the city, researched London’s environmental regulations, and adapted to city life- which is definitely much different than my farming experience. It’s aContinue reading “Urban Green Space in London”
Social inequality and my first culture shock in Japan
Hello! This is my third blog post. So far, the biggest structural inequality that I have noticed that seems to be very normal in Japan is the work culture. From my understanding and observations a lot of people are overworked. This is normal to many Japanese people. Some even stay at work after 11pm, leadingContinue reading “Social inequality and my first culture shock in Japan”
On to Prague!
Hi again!! I am writing this from the Dubrovnik airport…I get to Prague tonight! My time with Professor Metcalf and the other students in this program has been amazing. We went to Sarajevo, Bosnia for several days, which I greatly enjoyed! Some other international students from the Balkan region: Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia, etc., wereContinue reading “On to Prague!”
Solidarity amongst students!
I think that because my experience and community are mainly centered around education, solidarity comes out uniquely. I see solidarity in my students in many ways, one of the most common being helping each other learn. It can be tough to keep up and stay on track with the class, so students often help eachContinue reading “Solidarity amongst students!”
Boggy Prom!
Solidarity in my community looks like coming together with or without campers present for the greater good of everyone’s well-being. In between each summer camp session, we have a few days off called intersession. Last night we had a “Boggy Prom”. This event was even covered in the Orlando Sentinal! This was an absolutely amazingContinue reading “Boggy Prom!”
Solidarity for Those We Serve
Through my time in working with Second Harvest, i’ve seen the ways the bank shows their solidarity with all those they work to aid. Theres never a distinction made to the identity of those who work for the bank and those they feed in Central Florida. In the photo I have attached is a chalkboardContinue reading “Solidarity for Those We Serve”
The Dublin Diaries: Solidarity in the Community
Hello everyone! As I continue my journey here in Dublin, Ireland, I’ve been reflecting on the concept of solidarity within communities. This week’s blog post for the Global Scholars Program at Florida State University (FSU) focuses on what solidarity looks like in my community and the communal issues where it becomes most evident. In myContinue reading “The Dublin Diaries: Solidarity in the Community”
Adjusting to the Camp Environment
Hello everyone! My second week at camp has been a wonderful roller coaster ride. This week, I learned that working with kids is both one of the most fun and hard jobs that someone could possibly do. With the plethora of emotions, experiences, interests, and dislikes of each camper, I have learned so much alreadyContinue reading “Adjusting to the Camp Environment”

Hello everyone, Onyie here! Today I am going to walk you through a day in my life. As the clinic that I have been working at is located in Daytona Beach, the first step of my routine is relocating myself. Daytona Beach is about an hour from my house, so I drive to Daytona inContinue reading “Spend a day with me!”
