Pohnpei reflects the rest of the world. Students here are so like students any where. Social interactions are primary and a camera is a great chance to pose with friends
I have the pleasure of teaching math and science and the biggest difference I see here, compared to in the States,is attitude.
I am always surprised at how delighted the students are to be doing activities.
Give them a simple data collection activity and they work quickly with a few jokes but never a "this is boring" or "why?"
Although there may be chatting, the students manage to accomplish their assigned tasks without being off-task.
As for presenting to other student, there are a few shy students, but they adjust. And the students are positive with each other.
Our Campus has an excellent tourism program which includes all aspects of restaurant and hotel operations.
Students learn the good, the bad, AND the UGLY of planning the food, cooking, taking orders, serving, and the clean up.
Even the dirty jobs are learned!
With Founder's Day celebrations coming up, students are enthusiastic about fund raising.
Food is always in demand, particularly sweets!
On weekends, students are involved in community activities.
A 5K walk / run is great for competition and for raising money for scholarships.
Posing with friends is not a problem, sweat and all!
No matter how you slice it, students are delightful where ever you go!
