We have now finished our first week here in the States, and have just entered our second week.
Yesterday (Monday) and today we have had classes about leadership. We have done a lot of things and we have learned a lot as well :)
On Sunday we went to Cape Cod. The Cape Cod is a very nice beach not too far away from campus. The weather was extremely nice (as always) and we had a lot of fun just playing around at the beach. After we had spent some hours at the beach, we went to a street called the "main street" which was not far away from the beach. We walked through some of the stores they had there and after we had lunch, we went to see a real baseball game! :D
The funny part is that the "host dude" actually announced us on the speaker, and told everybody to welcome us, something that was incredibly fun =D
The baseball game was very exiting and we all acted like we were some REAL baseball fans!
Yesterday we started with the leadership class, and after having our regular seminars (with many interesting facts), we had a seminar at the evening which was very special!
A former veteran who had been and experienced the Vietnam war came to visit us and talk about his experiences in the war and how things are working out for him now.
I have to say - The seminar was so deep and strong, that no one barely talked to eachother when we walked out of the room after the seminar.
You could truly tell that this man had gone through a lot of things, things that are so difficult to imagine!
Today, we had a panel discussion with female community leaders :) They seemed to heve a lot of experience in different types of arenas.. We all asked them a lot of questions that they were more than willing to answer!
Later on in the evening we went to eat dinner at Megan's (one of the mentor) house.. It was very nice to meet her extremely kind family :) We had a very funny evening there; we ate a lot of good food, sang in all kinds of languages, danced and had fun :D
Tomorrow, we are going to a courthouse to witness a real case, something that I bet will be very memorable :)
