Summary of what I have learned...
Overall, through my experiences I have learned about different cultures and how they influence daily life. Throughout my practicums, I have worked alongside a number of students that are Native American , refugees from Iraq and Africa, and other students with different SES and learning disabilities. In working with these students, I have learned about their lives and was able to have a small glimpse of how they look at education and at life in general.
During my time abroad, have been able to experience first hand different cultures and being the foreigner. I embraced seeing the different colors of the world and people within the world and how we live our daily lives differently. These experiences have helped me develop as a person to look through the lens of others. |
