Learning about the history of Woodstock and its impact on anti-war protest and hippie culture was fascinating, and I enjoyed the documentaries about the bands playing and how they tried to convey their messages. Click here to see my reflection.

Participating in a Rosh Hashanah celebration with the Jewish community of West Hartford was an eye opening experience into Jewish tradition, celebration, and the religion as a whole. It was very nice to see so many people come together. 

Seeing experts talk about how human rights and sports are intertwined opened my eyes to the reality of sports as a symbol of politics, and I enjoyed asking questions about soccer in relation to human rights. I even got a signed copy of Soccer Under the Swastika! Click here to see my reflection.

Hearing the Mexican ambassador talk about the relationship between the two countries from a Mexican perspective was very cool, and I learned lots of new things, like how the majority of fentanyl smuggled into the US from Mexico is brought by Americans in the first place or how he doesn't have a lot of power in the US political system.
