Greetings everyone! This is Tamara from City Neighbors High School. I am so excited for our upcoming trip. Here is my list:
Ways I think I’ll need to physically prepare for the trip:
- Pack my favorite water bottle and some healthy snacks to make sure that I stay hydrated and alert.
- Make sure my journal is packed with extra pens, because I love to journal throughout the trip.
- Work with my school to ensure that I have a substitute for the days that I will be missing and prepare work for my students.
- Make sure I pack a comfy pillow and blanket so that I can get some rest on the bus.
Ways I think I'll need to mentally prepare for this trip:
- Select a theme that I want to explore deeper throughout the trip such as the role of women, young people, music, or religion in the movement.
- Create a list of questions that I want to ask activists or seek out in museums.
- Remind myself to be present on the trip, rather than focus on the work and responsibilities that I am missing at home.
- Find hope in each lesson we learn, even when things feel overwhelming or hopeless.
- Make sure I am good listener and try to learn as much as I can about the other participants and chaperones.
- Think of ways to bring what we learn from our trip back to Baltimore and further impact our communities.
