Little Rock πŸ”πŸŽ‘

Last weekend, we went on a trip to Little Rock. It is known to 

be the capital of the state of Arkansas.The day before, we had a class about Little Rock. This class was a mixed class between the Mexican and the Egyptian. we started the class with a game by Dr. Gavin. she made us skim a paper for one minute. it was fall of information and then she divided the class into two small groups and we started the game and our team won. after that, Dr. Gavin started to tell us more about Little Rock. We knew a lot of incidents in the 50th of the last century and how the crisis of the Junior high school that left a scare in the USA, started a new era in the history of the civil rights in the USA. the next day we head up to Little Rock at 8:30 am. The destination took about 3 hours with a break in the middle of the trip. once we arrived Little Rock. we visited the Historic Central High School and we saw the place where the chaos goes on. After that, we went to the state Capital Building where we had a tour in the building with different rooms senates. We took a lot of photos in and out the building and also we took the famous half million dollars picture. Then, we checked in the hotel and we went to have the dinner at one of the famous restaurants there"The Flying Fish". The food was really delicious. After while, we went in a walk around the city and we were walking in the rain however the weather was too hot. We went to the hotel and we felt in a sleep. The next day, we visited the Clinton Museum and the Presidential library. We took a lot of photos and we so a lot of information about president Clinton, even the presidential secured car. Also, I saw some of the gifts from the Egyptian president Hosny Mubarak. The next stop was Heifer Organization. It is a non governmental organization that works in charity and helping people to go over poverty by learning to give. "passing the gift" is their slogan. We saw the exhibit, farms, and animals that they are working with. I appreciated them a lot. finally we took the bus again to Fayetteville. It was really a nice trip, full of information and I learned a lot form it.

  1. Thank you, again, Sameh.

    Now starting week 3, you need to start transitioning. You may, of course, continue to discuss your interesting experiences. However, you need to start discussing your observations and reactions to the content of the program. You also need to discuss how those observations and reactions cause you to reflect on your practices personally and/or professionally. THAT is the most important part: that you are making connections to what you learn personally and/or professionally.

    Thank you.
