On this year's Shadow day, I had two students come with me to my French 101 Class. My teacher was very excited and welcomed them. This is a fun class with constant participation, something that one of the students, McKayla mentioned she enjoyed. Since it was my only class, we had a lot of free time to talk. We went to Tim Horton's for breakfast where I was able to give them a short tour of the Campus Center and food options we have as college students.
The girls, Asia and McKayla, listened and asked questions as I told them about my experience coming away from home: having to meet new people, making sure I eat enough throughout the day, or even setting a standard for myself with class attendance, and studying time. I also got to gain a better understanding of their personal experiences in high-school and personal goals of their own.
This Shadow Day was a great experience for these girls to really see a college experience firsthand. They were also able to communicate openly with questions about the education and living aspects. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did, and look forward to seeing them again.
