DONE
The presentations are over!! WOOHOO!! Everyone did such a great job and I’m so proud of everyone’s effort and research. I thought all of the topics were interesting and summed up what we have been learning for the past two weeks pretty well. The first group to go was Kayla, Mary, Abbie, and Courtney’s group,…
Reflecting On Childhood
Today we visited the Ladywood Family Centre, which ended up fully convincing me that I want to do pediatrics or neonatal specifically. I already had an interest, but getting to see the kids was such a joyful experience and I can not see myself in any other part of the field. Ladywood, which is operated…
Black Country Living Museum
Going into today’s trip to the Black Country Living Museum, I honestly had no clue what it was going to be other than it being historical and having great fish and chips. It ended up being quite engaging and gave me a Disneyland vibe with all of the character acting and theming. Our trip began…
Understanding Special Education
Special education is a topic that I had little knowledge of coming into today’s lectures. What I knew came from seeing kids in school who received help with reading or speech therapy, and my interactions with kids who were in support programs who were taught in a separate room. Today I learned how complex the…

To be honest, other than Macbeth I’ve found Shakespeare rather boring when forced to read it in school and I didn’t think my take…
Familiarity Across Continents
We finally had our first lectures today!! I was overjoyed to find that the topics were incredibly interesting and lecturers knowledgeable and passionate about their topics. I was secretly proud of our group, who asked a ton of questions and seemed truly engaged in the content we were absorbing. Familiarity seems to be a theme…
Sleepless in Birmingham
Entering my second day in the United Kingdom, I can safely say that jet lag can and should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. After we took off on the London-Heathrow flight, I quickly realized after taking a melatonin that I can not sleep on planes! I assumed my exhaustion would help me despite the…
