Prompt #1 Favorite Monument

 By Carlos C.

My favorite monument in Washington D.C. was the White House, because I think it is the most iconic monument in this city, because the President of The United States lives here.

The White House is beautiful, and represents a lot of history in the U.S., John Adams was the first President who lived there on November 1, 1800. The architecture and design of this monument is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.

In Mexico my favorite monument is the Independence Angel in Mexico City, because it represents freedom, and I think it is very beautiful, and there Mexicans join together to celebrate important events.

Living in a new home with another family that is not mine is a new and interesting experience for the reason that you are going to have a multicultural experience. For example, I'm the only child in my family and now I am living with a family of five siblings.

Prompt#4 volunteer activity by Alma J

I try to do my best at the volunteer activity, I enjoy all the parts of it, but my favorite activity was packing the bread into the boxes, at the food back I learn a lot of things like If a child is hungry and attends classes, he/she will not learn a lot. So sometimes the food is related to learning, this is the reason that a lot of children that don't have something to eat they can be affected in their education, that's the thing that impacts me a lot.

Prompt#7 Favorite Dish 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍖🍖🍖🥩🥩🍗 by Alma J

Kansas City is famous for its BBQ and that's right because it's true, so for that reason, BBQ is one of my favorite foods in KC, also the hamburger is one of my favorite dishes here in Kansas City, In Mexico we have hamburger like in the USA, because they use buns, meat, lettuce, tomato (I don't like it), onion, cheese, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise, but in Mexico some people put grilled pineapple and spicy, and at the USA they use pickles.

In Mexico the BBQ is kind of similar because we only use the BBQ sauce in Pork ribs, but I prefer the KC BBQ.

(My brother Garrett makes the best hamburgers)

“Prompt #6: Roomies experience by Hannia W.”

I had a really great luck of having excellent roommates, I enjoyed the time spent with them.

My Vermont roomie was Alessandra from Querétaro, she is a lovely person, always happy, smart and a great leader.

We had a good connection and we both enjoyed our time together.

One thing that I learned with her and as an advice for the next year participants (hopefully y’all read this) don’t lock your doors and make sure when you arrive that they aren’t locked, you really don’t want to stay out of your room until 3am, so keep them always open!
