Getting To Know George Mason and D.C.!
January 26, 2017
The workshops on “Leadership” and “Gender Equity” were
impactful and helped me to gain new perspectives and better insight.

Getting to know the University which would be hosting me was
exciting….George Mason would be “home” for the next 6 weeks. I
met the 21 teachers from 19 countries who would be my colleagues at
GMU….this was a GREAT group….I feel we’re going to have loads
of fun together!

Late afternoon on 26th January, we were off to a tour of Washington D.C.—Yaaay! It was cold and windy….we were braving the chilly winds in our TEA caps….together!

The Lincoln Memorial with
it’s huge wall engraving of Lincoln’s speech was
impressive…..memorable! The Luther King Memorial was our next
stop…..reading all the quotes engraved on the long, well-designed
wall was impactful….made me contemplate the immense contribution of
these great men in shaping the US of today and the influence their
thoughts and ideas had on the whole world. I feel, as teachers, it’s
our job to continue their work of freeing minds from narrow
constraints and help in creating global citizens who understand the
value of hard-earned freedom.
