Host for Student from Singapore Sister School
Host for Student from Singapore Sister School
In 2017, I hosted Dawn, a student from our Singapore School, for a day on campus. We instantly hit it off by discussing the T.V. show Riverdale. We both had the same sense of humor and laughed at jokes all day. It was fascinating to see how similar our lives were, even though we grew up in completely different cultures and in countries on opposite ends of the world.
Franklin Institute Terracotta Warriors Exhibit
Franklin Institute Terracotta Warriors Exhibit
In November 2017, several other students and I visited The Franklin Institute to see the Terracotta Warrior exhibit and film. The exhibit consisted of actual Terracotta Warriors that were excavated near the burial site of the First Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. The film helped further explain the excavation efforts and discoveries about Ancient China that the Warriors and other artifacts have revealed. The trip’s main goal was to teach us more about ancient China’s traditions and history and how they are still relevant today.
Drexel Crossing Boarders Conference
Drexel Crossing Boarders Conference
Drexel University’s Office of International Programs has been hosting this event for years. There are six different panels of undergraduate and graduate students that address different ways that healthcare, media, culture, the arts, political and social trends, science, technology, and society are expanding globally through their research and travels. This was the first time I was exposed to how globalized the world is becoming through others research and ideas.
Notre Dame Walk for Water Fundraiser
Notre Dame Walk for Water Fundraiser
For the past three years, I have assisted in planning in Notre Dame's Walk for Water fundraiser. We walk three miles around the track in solidarity with the girls and women all around the world that walk miles to get water, that is often not clean. The money we raise from the walk is donated to the Sisters of Notre Dame's Photovoltaic Project, which helps build wells in towns and provides tablets that will clean contaminated water in several minutes. The work the Sisters of Notre Dame has been doing enables young girls to spend less time collecting water and more time going to school to better their future.
