this I can deepen my understanding of different life experiences. When I reflect on the events going on in the world around me, I am staggered by the sheer volume of ugliness that goes on in just one week on Earth. I want my experience to inform me in ways that I can be a voice of peace and reason in a world that often overwhelms. Even though this is something that I have had to do for school, it’s also something that that is helping me in life, and something that I take with me when meeting new people and traveling around the world. I want to be able to travel around and meet new people, and given these expierences through this year, I have more knowledege about the people around the world. SLA is just a very small portion of the world, but because it is so diverse, I still get to expierence the different cultures everyday.
