One of the tasks that I was approved to take on during my time at the Ritz was to create a formal tour script for use by docents and community volunteers. The first step I took was touring the museum myself and exploring every detail therewithin, including the animatronic show! The museum was divided upContinue reading “Building a Script”

Ending
My original interests began with the Middle East. I think Arabic is a really unique language and the diversity in the language and MENA region are fascinating. I wanted to learn more about the eastern hemisphere and went over there and got to experience a place full of variety. I didn’t enjoy it as muchContinue reading “Ending”
Its all connected
(Maybe some divination can lead us through this all.)
My Interests After my Experience
My interests were initially in looking at how non-profit organizations, particularly international NGOS, worked to engage with the community and solve issues within. By working with PeaceJam, an international NGO, I was definitely exposed to how these organizations try to make sustainable and lasting change within these communities. I think the biggest takeaway from workingContinue reading “My Interests After my Experience”
Glass ceilings and sticky floors
What resonates with me even more after this experience is how 3rd world countries continuously are given an unfair shake. I’ve known that they are given unfair disadvantages as my parents are from 3rd world countries, but living in one and speaking with other students that had grown up and studied in them really pulledContinue reading “Glass ceilings and sticky floors”
Adios a Costa Rica
This experience as a whole was a very complicated and messy situation. However even with all the ups and downs I thoroughly enjoyed it and would do it again in a heartbeat if given the choice, though a more streamlined process would have been nice. The capstone for the summer experience has been shifted entirely,Continue reading “Adios a Costa Rica”

A map of where we were would be in a way linear by this point. We had set up a new fermentation so our sphere of locations had shifted a bit by now. Our first few weeks would have consisted of our place of residence, the university, and the local supermarkets. Once we had aContinue reading “Experimentando a fin”
The Clotilda: An Unknown Story
After completing my experience, I went to my grandparent’s house to spend time with family. While I was there, my dad had mentioned wanting to go this museum in Mobile, Alabama. This museum was showcasing the history of the Clotilda, or the last known slave ship in the U.S., and the town, AfricaTown, that theseContinue reading “The Clotilda: An Unknown Story”
Revisiting my Interests After my Experience
During my experience over the summer I was able to learn more about student activism and grow as a person. I also learned more about myself and my interests. I learned a lot more about leadership as a whole and the necessary attributes needed to be a good leader. As a self-driven student, leading isContinue reading “Revisiting my Interests After my Experience”
Farewell to my AmeriCorps Summer Experience
My experience this summer has been truly great! I did not know what to expect when I started my AmeriCorps service with PeaceJam but it has given me a new perspective on what it takes to and what it means to truly serve a community. The Center for Leadership and Service does incredible work andContinue reading “Farewell to my AmeriCorps Summer Experience”
