Chinese Festival 

I have participated in volunteering to set up the Chinese Festival at IUPUI. It was a great experience to learn a new culture and also meet other honor students. I got to learn how to work in a team with other people and enhance my thinking skills to help others set up together as a team. It was a pleasure to see all the fascinating performances, different types of food, and different organizations as part of the Chinese festival. I also learned the different customs and traditions they were practicing during the event and it was captivating to see all the people come together to celebrate.

Costa Rica Service Learning Trip Spring 2024

This service-learning trip was an ecotourism trip on how Costa Rica uses its ecotourism to help their country. We participated in activities to help their towns and got to participate and learn about their culture to understand more about them and why they practice certain traditions. We participated in repainting their soccer field in Mollejones, learning about the indigenous tribe called Bri Bri, learning how they produced sugar about sugar cane, and learning to make traditional Costa Rica tamales.

Reflections

I learned different cultures in both services however in the Chinese Festival I learned how important it was to work in teamwork. It was very interesting to learn about their culture during the setup and to learn how to create connections with other people working on it. I was interested in also meeting other honor students and learning how to work together. While working on the service learning trip to Costa Rica it was very beneficial for us to learn the different things they were doing to create a sustainable development. It was very important to understand the SDGs (sustainable development goals) to know what they were working on to help their country and to also help tourists participate in their goals.
