Hey Abbey! I really enjoyed reading your introduction! I am excited that we have this class together as well as many of our education classes! I am super excited that we get to learn something new that we don't ever talk about being an education major. I think our minds are going to be blown about so many things taught in this class! One reason I wanted to reply to your response was that I have actually been to Africa and gone on a safari trip. This time last year, I was on a plane headed to Uganda. It took us 52 hours to get there because of some issues but we made it and it was the best thing I have ever done! I went to Uganda with the education department where we went to teach English to students K-5. I spent three weeks teaching 5th graders English! Although it was not easy, I did it and learned so much about myself and myself as a future teacher! The first few days we were there, we went on a safari where we saw giraffes, elephants, and animals native to that area. We were so close to them and I have some super cool pictures. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip! I had never seen anything like it and it was incredible! If you ever get the chance to go to Africa or Uganda, take the opportunity because you won't regret it! I also love Disney World! My family surprised me and my siblings with a trip to Disney one spring break and it was a vacation that I will always remember! My favorite ride is definitely the Buzz Lightyear one! Anyway, I am glad we get to learn about this topic together and can't wait to be in many more classes with you as we finish out our four years!
