Glocal Giveback Day
Glocal Giveback Day
My group worked on creating a holiday playlist consisting of songs written for a variety of religions. It was hard to find Kwanza music, and too easy to find Christmas music, but we created a long list of holiday songs that everyone could enjoy!

Environmental Club
Environmental Club
I have participated in Environmental Club since the beginning of Sophomore year. We have attempted 2 AVIS trail field trips, both cancelled due to COVID-19; we pick up trash, and talk about environmental issues. We have tried to improve the sustainability of our school, with efforts to integrate Meatless Mondays and a better compost system.

I was a part of Sunrise Andover my sophomore and junior year, which is a branch of the organization called the Sunrise Movement. It's a youth lead organization that is fighting against climate change and working to implement a Green New Deal to help protect our future and the future of the environment. I have attended many calls, meetings, and phone banks, and continuously advocate for action against climate change.

Global Student Leadership Team
Global Student Leadership Team
This amazing team of Global Scholars helped planned our Global Choice-board, an idea originally developed by Mrs. St. Laurent. Throughout the months of December and January, our group created a slideshow that presented members of Global Pathways with multiple ways to participate in the program throughout January and February. As a participant on the Leadership Team, I worked with Abby Buckley and Nadia Shah to create a community service slide. We provided links and information on ways for students to give back to our town and world, and even hosted an h-block where we made thank-you cards for frontline workers.

Mentoring A South Korean Student
Mentoring A South Korean Student
In the end of January, 2020, I had the amazing opportunity to mentor a student that came with his school from South Korea. It was a week long experience and I learned more than I could have ever hoped. His name was Jun Seok, and he was very excited to experience something so different from what he was used to. He told me all about his love for baseball and even showed me some cards. We talked about many things, including school, family, and his time in the United States. From what I can recall, his favorite part of our country was the pizza. Coming from two different countries, there was definitely a language barrier but it was manageable. He also told me that he has been studying English since elementary school, which was definitely helpful on both ends. I only used a translator once throughout the whole week, and otherwise just spoke in simple, short sentences. One of the most interesting things that I learned from him was the way his school worked. He attended an academy that ran from about 8 in the morning and did not end until around 5 pm. I was shocked by this, but also learned that they have study hours and breaks throughout the periods. I think it's so amazing how two teenagers from opposite sides of the world, different backgrounds and different languages were able to communicate and share our stories so effectively. I will never forget the experience I got when Jun Seok followed me around for a week. I will also never forget how impressed I was when he was taking perfect notes and participating in my classes.

Learning American Sign Language
Learning American Sign Language
Despite COVID-19 disrupting the agenda of the entire world, many people knew that you had to just keep pushing forward. One of those people was Ms. Lee, my friend's aunt who took the opportunity to teach us American Sign Language from April-June. She saw that we were just sitting around all day and that it was the perfect time to learn some new skills. She is hard of hearing, fluent in sign language, and teaches kids ASL at her job as well. It was so fascinating to learn about a world that I was completely new to. We had to practice only using signs to other people in the call and interpret what they were saying. I never even thought about disabilities like deafness and how hard it must be to experience a pandemic where you can't read lips in person or hear people on the phone. This reflects on my global journey by teaching me skills that are relevant throughout the whole country, and helped me acknowledge the hardships that people across the world experience.
