DAMN! Today was really amazing. Well every day fo me has been amazing. I really have been learning a lot about differences in our educations. To see how Venezuelans really take their education seriously really does motivate me to take my education seriously back at home in the US. People here have repeatedly told me that the people not in schools ARE THE PEOPLE THAT DON’T CARE ABOUT THEIR EDUCATION. To me that is powerful because nowadays people don’t appreciate their education, well at least back home. So far this experience has been, I think, one in a life time. Because in these last few days I feel like I have learned so much. About the differences in the education systems in both countries. But I feel like the Venezuelan education system is better because of what they learn in their classrooms is what will really benefit them in their lives and communities. What we are mostly trying to be taught in our schools back in Oakland is most of the time worthless. This experience has helped me to really open my eyes to view things in different perspectives. Like I thought language wouldn’t be a factor for me in Venezuela but you can really tell the differences in the accents and in some words.
Today I can really say was my favorite day because the kids from the high school came to visit us and just really made us have a better experience here and just made me feel real comfortable. I LIKE VENEZUELA A LOT! –Jose Sanchez
