Justin!! This looks like such an incredible experience. It is so cool that you are finding a way to continue your studies  about the State of Exception at Araminta — kudos to you for being able to combine both! Also, great pictures (whose the smart-looking fella in next to you in that restaurant ?? seems like a cool guy). 

Hey Alisa! This sounds so amazing. That is so cool that you've had that incredible of an experience in Brussels. To be honest, you are inspiring me to be more adventurous and to go around more places here in Germany, too. Also, I really resonated with what you said about needing to explore more of New York. It's so crazy that we are in one of the coolest cities on Earth and don't view it as such. I'm excited to change that!

Hey Yordani! This sounds like a really great project, congratulations. I have found the same experience with NGO-hours in my project as well. It's interesting to think about how this work really only happens because people are passionate about doing it and find any time they can to contribute. Good luck on your last week!

Hey Arjun! Wow, this looks amazing (wow to the food!). That sounds like an awesome project that you are doing. I love that the school is 100% waste-free. I used to go to a school like that and, though it was sometimes difficult to finish off some of the food, it taught me a lot about caring for the environment. Congrats on the cool project!

Que padre, compa! Me alegro mucho que te haya gustado tanto aprender español. Sabes que siempre estare para ayudarte a practicar!

Hey Phoebe! This is such an interesting and complex topic. We really do tend to look at things from one perspective (namely the American, Western one) so it really is fascinating and important to broaden our perspectives. That is, in my opinion, the only way towards understanding and community. Thanks for your work!

Hey Andre! Really great video, I find the tale of the flying Africans super fascinating -- from Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon to Rashid Johnson's art (in the Guggenheim, you should definitely check it out by the way!), it is a powerful image that is pervasive throughout literature, art, and culture. I'm really looking forward to reading your poster and learning more about it!

Thanks for the kind words. As for your question, absolutely! Next summer, I'm thinking about doing my second summer at a school and focusing on community there. So I guess we'll see!
