Group 6 Reflections

In the morning, we had a memorable lesson in the Stanford campus with Mr. Freedom. We learnt about norms. Norms means ideas or facts, and we realized there are many norms in our daily life, they are in different category like personal norms, global norms, ethical norms, etc. We also learn that things and be looked from different views, so there is simply no entirely right or wrong in any topics. For the environmental science class, we've learnt more about climate change and the use of different renewable energies. It was really fun to discuss with our teacher and groupmates about the current issues.

At evening, we've had the multi-cultural exhibition. We've all learnt a lot about other cultures and became friends with people all around the world! We also prepared a puppet show with Group5 and we're so glad that everyone enjoyed the show. Our hard work truly paid off!!

After the long week, we ended our Friday with two courses. First of all, we had a class on leadership. We enjoyed fun activities together and deepened our understanding on each other. What's more, we learned ways to suitably solve problems encountered such as comforting other.
In the afternoon, we had mathematics class on logical solving. It taught us to think out of the box.
Unlike our regular mathematics classes, it was indeed inspiring!
After that, we went to the French house for the global project meeting, we had the chance to discuss more in depth with our groupmates on the island we're creating and the policies, flag design, etc. It was really inspiring and we all loved it.

We have had a blast at Great America, California today. Most of us had rode on a couple of roller coasters which was exciting. It was really sunny outside but we all enjoyed the sun a lot. It was really nice to sit beside the road with the butterflies and birds flying around us. We've all had a great time there.
It was our group mate Christie's birthday today. We planned birthday surprises and celebrations for her. During the free time, we bought her a birthday cake. Along with the stuffed toy we bought her before in the Stanford bookstore as her birthday gift, our birthday plans was a success and we successfully surprised Christie by giving her an unforgettable 15 years old birthday memory.

July 13th Melanie Ip Janet Lee Dorothy Ma Christine Lum   We attended a visual design class with Bill Scott and together created a get well soon card for our friend. Rather than copying the pictures directly from the internet, we were encouraged to be imaginative. We modified our original drawings of animals and stuck it onto the card. Furthermore, we were instructed to use pen instead of pencils. We learnt that making mistakes is a part of life and we should not be intimidated by this fact. After, we played a game where we rearranged letters, from an original word and made different words from it, sone in different languages. We also had neuroscience after that and we learnt more about that subject as most of us didnt have any idea of what it is. We also learnt many interesting topics regarding neuroscience and we were all intrigued. After classes we prepared for multicultural night. The event was really fun as we got to learn about the cultures and history of a few diff...

July 16th Melanie Ip Greta Lam Janet Lee Christine Lum Dorothy Ma We went on a field trip to San Francisco Bay Area where we spent most of our day. First we took a 2 hour bus tour around the city. During the tour we got to see the whole city of San Francisco and listened to the brief history of the city told by the tour guide. The Golden Gate Bridge was also a highlight of the bus tour. The wind was exceptionally strong and we can rarely experience it anywhere else. We also took a few photos before we continued our trip. We also had two hours of free time after the bus tour, so that we could walk around Fisherman's Wharf. We had a great lunch of seafood, soup and bread and it was delicious. There was also a large number of shops in the Fisherman's Wharf. Since we had some time left we shopped around and bought some souvenirs. Another great thing that we had the chance to see sea lions. We rarely see them in hk except in ocean park and it was a great exoerience for us...

Today is such a special Wednesday! We had a field trip with packed activities. In the morning, we played iFly, a memorable experience with professional instruct. After that, we even learned some physics principles to give a detailed explanation of our flight. We really took a lot from such exciting and unforgettable activity which we could never have back in Hong Kong! After lunch, we had a talk on the administration of Standford University and we learned about the detailed information for application of the university. The Stanford University is such a beautiful place, we really hope that we can continue our study there. In the evening, we had a bonfire. The sunset was magical, we had loads and loads of pictures there. It has been a pity that we did not get ourselves some smores, but it was surely a precious experience to enjoy the view and the weather!
