There is only a little over a week left of the Shad program and no one is looking forward to saying their goodbyes. Laval is a beautiful campus and the Shads here are all outstanding people.
Ce matin, on a regardé un documentaire à propos du krach boursier qui s'est récemment déroulé. Il expliquait les causes et les effets de cette crise.
We also had a workshop that was targeted towards teaching us what privilege really means. A list of facts was read out to the group and depending on whether or not it applied to you, you would either take a step forward or a step back. It really opened my eyes to the fact that even though I may take it for granted, I am truly privileged and I should recognize that.
Suite à la fin de l'atelier, les Shads on eu la chance de demander aux membres du personnel des questions au sujet des études postsecondaires. J'ai trouvé l'activité très utiles étant donné que les membres du personnel étaient capable de répondre à chaque question qui leurs étaient lancé.
After dinner, we boarded a yellow school bus that was headed for the Cineplex Odeon. One Shad, who happens to be a Harry Potter fan, had organized the outing. Although not everyone on campus was familiar with the Harry Potter franchise, the atmosphere on the bus was full of excitement and anticipation.
Jusqu'à date, Shad Laval a été un expérience excellente. Les gens ici m'inspirent et ça va être très difficile de les souhaiter mes adieux quand le temps va venir de retourner en Colombie-Britanique.
A special thanks goes out to all the Shad organizers and staff who made this program possible.
