Student Reflection
UofL students and faculty have been preparing for months,
extending their schedules and communicating with members of other majors and
their own. With orange suitcases in tow, the team is ready to leave for
Belize!
I think many students have feelings of both excitement and
anxiousness. Will our lesson plan go alright? How receptive will the students
be?
But for most, curiosity of another culture drives away all those
worries. Many students have been out of the country before, but this trip will
offer a more immersive experience. Natalia Dickerson, a nursing student a part
of the program said, “This is now my time to step into someone else’s shoes
being able to experience the environment and what they are doing every day.”
Week after week, we’ve come together on Tuesday evenings to
share our lesson plans and fun facts about ourselves. It’s unanimous that when
in a room together, it gives a “good vibe,” as a few professors have put
it.
Exploring Mayan ruins, coastal reefs, and watching Garifuna
dancers will all be new to us, still shots to hold in our lives. But I think
the most anticipated memories are the ones we will make among ourselves and the
people in the international community.
