Real Day 1

Today we  sat I the classroom and expanded our education through beginning to learn Mayan math. I got discombobulated half way but I pushed through. We traveled to Western U and it was there where I remembered becoming a doctor is a lot of work. We even played a big old gam3 of Ninja and I learned to basically tight rope walk. Too many things went down today my blog is ginormous.

I really enjoyed the Sundance we learned I can’t wait to learn itnfulky and get better at it. watching the documentary about Eddie Aikau Honestly almost made me cry and now can’t wait to go surfing. I love that I can connect to the Hawaiian culture in some type because I’ve always been interested in that indigenous culture

P.S
Eddie Aikau is now my idol because of that movie

Surfing and dancing and Science

It was nice that we were able experience and participate in the dance, the trip to western university was also amazing, I learned much about the research that graduate students do, along with the requirements that it takes to become a doctor. How important it is to do good in school to be able to accomplish these things. Also I never realized how cool Myan math is and how complex it is. I wonder what my math teacher would think if I used that on a no calculator test??  We also watched a movie that explained how important surfing was to the Hawaiian people, which is nice to know that their traditions are very important to them.

Danza Azteca

Tonatiuh, the father sun was honored today, as should be every day in a circle of native youth. I helped create the beat for the circles’ pasos with hand drums that we all recently created. I am very fortunate to be a part of this program that prepares us for constructing more extinguished goals for our future.

Today was an education, we had a dance that we had to learn that gave me a workout. We also learned how to use a new type of calculator so consider me smart.:)
