Carrying the Panama flag*

Last Wednesday, during the celebration of the international week @Shenandoah University, the committee had an international convocation in which all the flags were going to be carried by students, even if they were not from that certain country.

I had the opportunity to carry the flag of my country, dressed with one of the traditional dress of my country and we walked all together to the chapel. In the meeting, there were some guests who were talking about the importance of this activity and how Shenandoah interact with people from all the world.

During the meeting, the president Tracy Fitzimmons announced the places of the GCP program and the groups. The countries are Oman, Egypt, Belize, Peru and Burma. I was so excited about this program but sadly I didn't get it. However, I will be participating until i get it because I still have 3 long years :)

Going Global First Year Seminar Displays

Today we had a convocation on the BSC Ferrarri Room for our QEP Class.

In this convocation some of the QEP First Year classes were displaying their Imovie projects about their QEP Topic. It was a little hard to get to see all of them because all the freshman students were walking around the tables and it was a mess but the ones i got to see were from the Violence Against Women and their Imovie topic was based on showing the different types of problems that affect women. They were very good prepared and also interesting new stuff to learn from. Another group i saw was Please Accept Me For Who I Am and their videos were about how people treat persons with disabilities in their countries. It's a very long topic to discuss about because not all the countries treat disabilities person as they need to be treated and it's very sad.

I really liked the idea of making an I movie for a QEP final project and I'm sure that all of us (Border Identities Group) are going to create good ideas and work as the best we can.
The only thing I disagree was that it was not the right place to show this projects because people was going crazy everywhere and it was kind of annoying!
