recently i was asked the question: about how much diversity do you encounter on a daily basis? i laughed aloud.. the answer? quite a bit. i often forget how many different countries are represented in daily classes. out of curiosity today, i took a poll. one class, 21 students, 9 countries.this weekend we had international day.. a time for the students to celebrate diversity: wear their national costumes, dance traditional dances, overindulge in DELICIOUS foods, teach about the places they love and open everyone's eyes to the vast span of nationalities woodstock embodies.
the whole festival was completely student run and they did a fantastic job, taking the idea and running with it. while i was quite ill and borderline delirious for most of the festival, i was able to retain quite a bit of information...now, if only the pictures could be as informative as the students...
