Tuesday October 16th 2012, is a day that will be remembered, this was our last Hispanic Culture and Civilization class and the end of the first half of the semester. This class has really opened my eyes I will think about people before passing any kind of judgment and be more open to other cultures and their communities. I don't live far from the Wellstone Center but only come to that area a few times a year to eat, I will be visiting El Burrito for some authentic food much more often. As I said in our circle discussion I have been to some great places in Mexico, Cancun, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta and Ixtapa. I will have a deeper appreciation for the culture and not be afraid to go off the beaten path, we always stayed in the tourist areas before.
We all had to do a presentation on a country in Latin America, it was very interesting to hear the presentations and learn from the other students. We had a meal with food from each of the 4 countries, it was pot luck or buffet style. All the food was fabulous with many different varieties.
I really enjoyed this class, the freedom to make it our own, I met some fabulous people as well. I have taken many classes at Inver Hills over the years and have never gotten to know the instructor or students as well as I did in this one. It was a great experience and one that will stay with me. I wish everyone the best of luck and success in the future.
