(Sorry I went to upload my last blog post and realized this was uploaded in drafts, this should have been up the week of the 23rd)
Of what are you most proud of right now?
Like I mentioned in my last post, we have been preparing a seminar for educators. The seminar was this week and went very well! When I worked with FHAO last summer in New York I helped prepare for a seminar as well, but I was still nervous about this one, incase any of the logistics went wrong, but besides some minor tech difficulties everything else went pretty well.
I have learned that preparing for seminars is always a stressful time. I helped prepare the material and organize food, packed everything up to go to the venue, and helped make sure the facilitators had everything necessary to run the seminar. I am so proud that it went so well because I feel I was able to lend a helping hand.
The sessions in the seminar were extremely interesting. There was discussion about Nazi propaganda, psychological reasoning, and a woman named Susan Pollack gave an incredibly moving speech about her survival.
I am so proud that I was able to be a part of an event that helps spread people’s stories to bring awareness about the horrendous intolerances in our past and present world.
