Hixson Retreat

I cannot believe how fast this year is going! I had a great time at the hixson retreat over the weekend! It was great to spend a little extra time and get to know everyone a little better! I thought that last weeks session on how to create a lesson plan was very helpful and will be a great tool when preparing for next year. I really feel like im getting to know myself better which is something I did not first expect to get out of this but I am so glad that I am. I am getting so excited for next year and getting the chance to work with new students!!!!!!!

ISCORE

I thought that ISCORE was an awesome experience. I attended the opening speaker session. The Dean of the College of Design spoke and talked about bridges. He talked about how we need to bridge things in our lives together and how everyone and every culture has something that bridges us to them. Reassuring the fact that we are all people and that we are all equals even though we live and act in different ways. He is orginally from Mexico and it gave a nice look into their culture and he shared some cool facts and pictures of Mexico. I also attended Hannah's session on Latinos in America. I thought this session was really relative to my life back home because we have so many Latinos. It is so important and we try and step back and look at things from their point of view. We must realize they look at things just like we do and they have viable opinions as well. I think all the culture's of Latinos are very interesting and I would like to do mroe research myself. ISCORE was very interesting and I will definitely attend again next year! I think it was really eye opening and really got me thinking about being more aware of other cultures.
