- Unsolved Mysteries - Rwanda
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- This photo was taken when a small group of students and myself found ourselves wandering around an abandoned, pre-genocide military complex. The architecture style was different than any we had seen in Rwanda and there was an eerie stillness in the air as we wondered what it used to be. Although it was totally abandoned, it was no more than 100 yards from the main road through town, a poignant reminder of the events two decades earlier.

- Las Escaleras de La Catedral de Granada - Spain
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- Next to one of the main plazas of Granada sits the the grand Cathedral. Everyday, come rain or shine, performers were there to greet the tourists and on the weekends church bells rang with joy to celebrate a new marriage. On weekdays students filtered in and out for school tours, and always large masses were held. Engaging with the people in this square was when I finally began to feel that Granada was my home. Eventually, the cathedral became a normal sight to me, and I became more concerned with getting to my favorite churros con chocolate restaurant around the corner and catching an impromptu flamenco show.

- Class 5-3 - Japan
- Date
- 2014
- Description
- For our Japanese Folklore class we took many field trips, including an optional volunteer opportunity at a local elementary school. Unfortunately, I'm unable to post a photo with the children, as I was unable to contact the school for their permission. It was a great experience. The children weren't interested in us because we spoke English, or because we were foreigners. They simply saw us as new friends and as new playmates. Here, I'm pictured with my friend, Keitaro Hanzawa (right), with a warm welcome message full of drawings and comments from the fifth graders that we volunteered with. My favorite part is probably the blue text right under the "W" in "Welcome," since it's just a list of random English words that they knew written in Japanese like "jump" and "magazine."
