Hi Sidney, thank you so much for this blog post! That really sounds like an amazing learning experience with a very intriguing structure to it. I thought you did a great job relating your story and Mr.Randall’s teaching methods back to this week’s content and explaining it. I really enjoyed hearing about your memorable learning experience, I wish I was offered an opportunity like you were, I too was in calculus and quickly realized it was not the course for me. I look forward to reading more of your posts and working with you throughout the semester!

In my 21 years of life, I believe that each day has presented itself with a new learning experience. Whether it is regarding school, relationships, hobbies, myself, and so on, I truly believe that we as humans never stop learning as long as we live whether we realize it or not. To pick just one learning experience that stands out to me is difficult, but an experience that stands out to me is my grade 12 leadership class with Mr. Wiebe. Within this class we did many different events and activities around the school, along with the community, one of these activities being a Halloween-themed carnival we put on for the elementary school up the street. Part of the gig with this carnival was with a partner we had to create and run a station, along with dressing up in a Halloween costume to fit in with all the kids in theirs. Come lunchtime anyone around would have seen a group of around 30 high school kids all dressed up in Halloween costumes walking up the street with candy and props to put on an elementary school Halloween carnival, myself dressed up in a cow onesie. As the afternoon went on and the kids filtered through the gym playing all of our different games, interacting with us, and telling us anything and everything. A little girl came up to me and gave me a hug, thanking me for putting this carnival on for the school and for how much fun she had participating. This moment is a moment that I have never forgotten about. Although it can seem like such a minuscule moment to many, to me it taught me that no matter how old or small a task may seem to some, the experience and effect that it can have on others can leave a major impact. I felt as if at that moment instead of being just some high school students helping out an elementary school, we were more like a community helping one another out. My class put that carnival on in hopes that the kids would have a fun enjoyable afternoon, when in reality I think we all learned more from the kids that afternoon than they did from us, teaching us that no matter what age we are we can always learn from somebody else no matter what their age is.
