M&M reflection

Today in class we did an activity on privileges that we have earned or unearned. We made a list on the bored from all around the room and discussed each topic as a class. Some privileges that some of my partners discussed about was the privilege of being an American and having a well financial life that they did not have to earn. Some privileges that people had to earn was the good grades in school and having the ability to come to colleges from all around on scholarships. As i looked around the room when we did the activity with the M&Ms it looked like everyone had the same amount of candy on their papers as me. I was not really surprised about the results of the outcome with this activity, just because alot of people have grown up in different cultures around the state. And everyone is not the same, and does not live the same life as others. Just by allowing people of all sorts of cultures come and help around the places.

stressed

So this week was like the most stressful week i have ever had at ECU! I have definately overloaded myself with classes this semester, I did not think it was possible to have 4 test in one week...but it is. But we finally got our volunteer papers filled out for our service learning project. So hopefully we can get to going on that, and stop procrastinating !!

Service Learning Project

So im really excited to get started on my service learning project. My group and I have signed up to help the animal shelter. It will be awesome to go and be with animals that do not live with families at there homes. Being allowed to walk them and play with them is a real treat. I hope that my group and I can work together on this project, and make the ending product a good one for a passing grade at the end of the semester.
