Hi!
I remember the warth and care that I felt since the very moment I stepped out of the van. There is such a great vibe at Maná. I learned to care more for my students as human beings.

THE EXPERIENCE I REMEMBER THE MOST IS WHEN WE LEARNED ABOUT THE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. I REMEMBER MARY EATING THE STRAWBERRY WITHOUT GIVING US A BIT, WE JUST WATCHED, SALIVATING.

AS SHE EXPLAINED THE CONTENT OF THE PRESENTATION, SHE CONTINUED EATING, FLESHY-JUICY STRAWBERRIES. THEN SHE GAVE US A BUNCH OF THOSE ATTRACTIVE RED STRAWBERRIES, THAT WAS AN UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT.

TEACHING IS TO MARK AND INFLUENCE ON THE STUDENTS LIFE WITH UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES. I JUST WANT TO GO BACK THERE.

LOVE

RUTH
