Week 13

Today we gave our final presentation on Trash Trivia. We showed all three of our iterations and the process involved to the LCC class and parents. An end of an era. After the presentation we were able to present Trash Trivia one final time to the after-school program of LCC. Young fourth graders eagerly lined up to play with an enthusiasm that surprised me. It was heartwarming. I will miss visiting these students and the Monday afternoons we spend creating something together. The opportunity to truly collaborate with students far younger, but mind far advanced, does not come by often. It was made me question the important role of teacher that I play out in my everyday life – with fellow students, friends, partners. We all must be teachers to those around us. It is one of the most difficult tasks we face as people. I have discovered that I love to be around children. As I get closer to an idea of what I want to do in life, I know it will have to involve being of service to those that inspire me to never outgrow my child-like experience of the world.
