Checking Out

Today is the last day of camp and it is a bit bittersweet even though I complained about wanting sleep the whole week. 

I gained so much from this camp from journalism skills to new friends. I am going to miss it.

Schwalbe's Hour of Teaching

6/5/2018

0 Comments

 

On day 3, Carol and Cecil Schwalbe were invited to show the campers the safety of working with reptiles, specifically the Gila monster and the Diamondback Rattlesnake. 

I didn't take a picture of Muffin, the Rattlesnake, because I'm not suppose to be up close to snakes in general, due to cultural beliefs. Before we headed outside to watch him demonstrate the safety of working with the Gila monster and Rattlesnake, he showed us two young tortoises. It was adorable to watch the two reptilians walk around and sometimes retreat back into his shell due to sudden fright.  

Back to the snake and Gila monster, Cecil talked about reptiles and what they can do. From how long they can grow, how to be safe with them and how they are normally.

In the end, I enjoyed observing and learning basic knowledge on how to catch a snake and Gila monster. I was grateful that the animals were not aggressive either, which made me feel more at ease during the demonstrations. 

I captured some photos of during the session, but I only took a picture of Poncho, the Gila monster. While I decided to look around and see if I could get any other animal shots by the turtle pond.

Exploring the Diversity

6/4/2018

Thinking that I knew how summer workshops usually start off, I was definitely surprised and impressed with how these sessions kicked off. Compared to other workshops I have attended, these sessions appeared more detailed and have been explained in a more understanding way. I enjoyed that it was an open discussion where we were able to ask questions during the information session. 

Checking in at 12:13 p.m., I thought about nothing but wanting to hurry and run upstairs to greet my roommate in and call bottom bunk. To my surprise, she was not there but at orientation, which have already started. I remember myself internally scolding myself, "Why are you always late to everything Kaleb?" 

As check-in day continued, it ran smoothly as it ever could; going along with the detailed itinerary; we were always up to schedule. I was excited, on the down low, about the planned session discussing photojournalism. To my expectations, I enjoyed the lesson a lot and we went out to 4th Avenue  and practiced shooting with DSLR Canon Cameras which was a nice experience. I was able to see more of Tucson since it's my first time in this city. The street art and landscape was what intrigued me the most.

In the morning, it was session after session where speakers would come in to talk to us about their own journalist experience and give helpful advice as to what we were curious about. From the fundamentals of putting together a story budget, to learning about the law & ethics of journalism, to flying drones! It was valuable to learn, and had me at the edge of my seat throughout the whole morning. 

Knowing that we, the campers, had to start our assignments sooner than later, we spent the rest of the day in the lab: researching, writing, brainstorming and getting assistance from multiple mentors. I say that this is the best part of a camp: the extensive hours of hard work bonds the group of students closer together because we have to depend on one another to form a newspaper.
