This will be my first post since I started my 8 week placement on Tuesday, February 2nd and it is at the same school as my field placement was at. This was done mainly because I was not able to do my 4-week there due to the temporary setback with my foot. So, as I [...]
There are two key readings that stood out to me during classes this week that I felt compelled to share. The first was an article assigned in my Race, Class, Gender class written by Paulo Freire entitled: ”From Pedagogy of the Oppressed”. Freire describes the current state of our educational system as suffering from “narration [...]
It’s hard to believe that we are already three weeks into the Spring Semester! Reality set in when I got a call from Brenda this afternoon to confirm whether or not I am planning on graduating in May. After I got off the phone with Brenda, many thoughts started rushing through my head like: oh [...]
I believe several weeks and maybe months ago I promised to post some pictures and thoughts regarding me personally.
