I have never been to a different country but I have met someone from one. I can’t remember her name , but she was a German exchange student in my French class. She was a Junior and school where she lived sounded a lot different from school in America. They never had pre-determined class schedules (for instance here in America, we have class from one time ((8:00)) to another ((3:00)) 5 days a week, but in Germany, they would sometimes have class from 12:00 to 6:00 and other days 8:00 to 3:00.) They also allow drinking at an earlier age, 16, to prevent a larger urge to drink when you’re older. I wish I got to speak to her more to learn more about life in Germany, as I’ve always been interested in taking a vacation there.
International Youth day 2017
Today was international youth day and I have a cultural experience every day living with someone who is from a different country. My mom was born and raised in Brazil. Everyday she teaches me new things about brazil and its culture every day, including the language which is Portuguese. I am not from another country but living with her feels like i’m in brazil when ever she talks about brazil and how she grew up. She has told me many times how different it was growing up in brazil than when she came to the states. every day I appreciate my mom and her culture because just knowing that you are close to someone with an awesome background is like you were actually there.
Step-Up Week 8 Day 2
Most days we have one goal, but today we had two. The first half of the day (before lunch) I sat in the production room with Diamond and suggested edits for her to make. Since I left early last week when they finished shooting the film, I was glad to watch what they had done after I left. I personally think that the final product of the film was great. It was well shot, the lighting was surprisingly good, and it was really cute. After lunch came the second half of the day. For the second half we went back out in to the parks to gather interviews. The weather was nicer than yesterday so everyone seemed to be in a more pleasant mood. Overall I enjoyed today.
Week 8 Day 2
Today we finished editing the video that we made last week and went to the park to interview more people. Photo team got 11 people…not bad.
Week 8 Day 1
Yesterday we started on a new postcard, with the theme of substance abuse. We had to find information on the different type of substance abuse, and at 10:30 or so, Williams turn off the wifi so we didn’t have wifi for the whole day.
Week 8 Day 2
Today we continue working on our postcard, and thankfully the wifi wasn’t turned off.
2017 step up week 8 day 3
Today we edited our movie that we made last week and we also went to parks again for interviews and pictures.
Week 8 day 2
Today we went back out to the park agian but today was slow
Step Up Week 4 Day 2
Today we tried to finish the Moa and Story, but were only able to finish the story. The lunch was okay, and the doughnuts were awesome. At one a officer came in and answered some questions, and that was interesting. Overall, today was okay.
Step Up day 2 week 4
i havent posted anything from the last weeks and days so i really have no idea how to cover those up but i can try 😅 we were set into 4 groups and i was placed in a group of 3 that is me, Abdirabi, and Jacob and we were given 2 projects which has to do with recording we recorded a story we 3 had to make up and read, which we did horribly because we mumbled and stuttered a lot while reading, Another project we did was we reviewed Shops, points of interest and what connection they have with Bi-culturism at Mall of America and also edit things out of it to make perfect and to day is the last day we can do that for a final draft.
