The overwhelm of my day and a presentation I need to get ready for may limit my writing today. We are on a philosophy section and it is so much information and then testing my beliefs. I can’t imagine being a foreign speaker and trying to take it all in…
We had to break into dyads and my partner and I will be exploring the topic of “victim” and presenting it to our class. I am very excited because the whole idea of victim was a total surprise from a topic on resilience that I started with. My partner on the project, Monica, is from Peru and has been working with the earthquake victims there and is using them as her starting point or our study. I will be thinking of the homeless high school students that I just had the privilege of working with, so two different kinds of “victims”. Mostly though I will be looking at my own life. Perfect. This has been a topic of mine the last few months, once again serendipity has found me. This school is so invigorating. They are less interested in what we know than in what we don’t know and want to learn. The questions, the excitement, the passion….I am grateful.
Lucky for you, short and sweet!
Love

P.S. I hear cow bells in the distance!
