neat workshop
I ran a mini workshop this morning that turned out to be a lot of fun and have really cool students. It was a treasure hunt (I love treasure hunts) for incoming freshman to get to know campus. This was for students who were under represented in college and/or first generation. While they were running around campus like mad, I talked to the director of the program and she was telling me some of their stories. I was soo impressed. The stuff they face and overcome, and all the things they juggle, is just amazing. For instance many of them have to work to pay not only for their tuition, but for their family as well. They often have to take care of their siblings in their free time while trying to study, so they sometimes study in the car for some quiet. I felt really privileged to get to know them a lil and they were a lot of fun.
