The community of Tallahassee is very politically charged because it is the capital of Florida. I think that this encourages a lot of people to be more expressively political, as they have more opportunities to voice their beliefs. Topics such as police brutality and the war in Ukraine are a few that produce a lotContinue reading “Solidarity in Tallahassee”

Daily Routine as a Camp Counselor
I arrive at the camp at 7:30am and set up for extended care with games like Connect 4, which I have gotten very good at; the camp begins at 9am so some kids come beforehand so their parents can go to work. When camp starts, we do free play for a while and then it’sContinue reading “Daily Routine as a Camp Counselor”
Structural Inequalities in Tallahassee
Some of the employees at my job are teachers and some of them have children. One of my coworkers is a new mom and a teacher. Talking to her, I have learned that summer camp costs for her older children take a big hit to her finances. It is insightful for me to learn aboutContinue reading “Structural Inequalities in Tallahassee”
Transition to the Challenger Learning Center
My transition to my new job at the Challenger Learning Center has been pretty seamless, in so far as the physical location is minutes away from my apartment in Tallahassee. Everyone is extremely welcoming and the collective energy is positive! Thankfully my work schedule is during the mornings and ends at 1pm, so I alsoContinue reading “Transition to the Challenger Learning Center”
Becoming a part of the London Community
A moment that stood out to me was when I met a University College of London student, Ali, in a local park. My friends and I were completing some assignments and eating a charcuterie board from Marks & Spencer.

To gain a greater perspective of this topic, I asked two friends that IContinue reading “Solidarity in London”
My daily routine in London
My daily routine in London is everchanging, as I try to experience a new corner of this city each day. The area is so vast, I feel as though I could live here for months and still have more left to explore. Through the experiential learning opportunities in our class excursions and going on adventuresContinue reading “My daily routine in London”
Solidarity Within My Community
Solidarity within the community I am volunteering in revolves around the common sport of Tae Kwon Doe. I am currently volunteering at tribe martial arts, where people from all over Vero Beach come to practice this sport and learn more about the fascinating world of Tae Kwon Doe. Everyone’s shared interest in this dojo isContinue reading “Solidarity Within My Community”
My Cultural Environment
My environment consists of children and adults training in the sport of Tae Kwon Doe. Each student comes to the dojo for different reasons, whether it’s to learn a new, fun sport or to improve their physical and mental fitness. This new community I have become a part of shows me how anyone of anyContinue reading “My Cultural Environment”
Transition From School
My position at Horizons Washington through Americorp does not start until June 20th. For the time being, I have decided to spend my time at home in Woodstock, Georgia. The transition back into my life at home has been weird and different. In Tallahassee, I had gotten used to my busy schedule and sort ofContinue reading “Transition From School”
