Reflection - Posteado por: Lady Sevenfold
Today I had so much fun it was a great experience even though I got lost. I learned a lot about discrimination and how other felt about it. I had so much talking about this topic. We didn’t come to an agreement but we had fun. People had a lot of different views. Some people were kind of against immigration and some were for it. At one point I thought a fight was going to break out. But everyone was respectful of everyone’s opinions. Some people were taking about experience that they’ve witness and some talked about the one they’ve heard about. All in all I had a great experience.

A reflection on today at the UN day celebration - Posteado por: SOF-JasmineW
What I thought about today was that I think that we weren’t as prepared as we could have been because I really didn’t comprehend a lot of what they were talking about as far the lady answering the other student’s questions. It wasn’t really a big issue as far as us being prepared because the students from the other school actually take a class that deals with human rights and migration.
Our school went to the UN day to learn other information the migration and the other 5 topics. When we broke up into our small group discussions I was in the group concerning children’s rights. I thought my group was interesting and I learn a lot about children’s rights. There was a girl named Jenifer in my group and she went to Delaware Valley Friends. I not sure what grade she was in but she knew a lot about children’s rights. My Facilitator named was Sara Kitchen and she told us that she started to want to be involved in children’s rights when she was a teenager and she worked as a waitress at a dinner in Massachusetts she overheard two guards that worked at a school a mile away from her home would talk about how they would torture the young men that went to the school. That situation made her want to go into the fields of children’s rights so she studied law and decided after a while to go from law to the classroom and now she is a professor at Chestnut Hill College.
Some of the things I learned The Convention on the Rights of the child is part of education and core curriculums around the world, parents leave their homes to migrate and sometime they take their children with them or they leave them with family members Children migrate to the U.S. so that they can get a better education to receive better jobs some become citizens of the United States others go back to their country, if a child were migrating to come to a Quaker school they could do community service to receive a green card or they can go back to their country, also if they are in a quarter school they would learn the religion if they are a Quaker, and they can easily be abused. This was a good opportunity because I learned a lot about children’s rights and that’s something I wouldn’t mind studying in the future I can’t wait to learn more when everybody come on Dec.1.
