Capstone Cinema - The Stoning of Soraya M.

This movie was shown at the theater and I felt it was a very serious and deep movie. The film details a young Iranian women's tragic story of abuse and murder by her husband who seeks to get rid of her. the film did a great job of showing the plight of women across the middle east where in some places women are not allowed d basic rights and protections. what happens to soraya is horrible and yet it is something that still happens in some places across the world. i feel that if every student sees this film then many would be outraged enough to try and start  movement to fix the injustices shown in the film. Overall as sad as the movie was I am happy I went to see it because of the cultural awareness it brought to me by watching it.

Capstone Challenge

My challenge was a little complex to start with but I feel that I have completed it this semester. My challenge had three parts: to do good in french, to do get a job on campus, and to become a executive member of Carolina productions. I have achieved all three over the course of this semester. I have been working at the Russel house for about three months now and it is a great place to work. I also am doing okay in French and hopefully will get a good grade on my exam coming up next Saturday. Lastly I am officially going to be the next cultural awareness coordinator for CP as of Tuesday which means that I managed to complete all three parts of my goal.

Wrap Up on Service

The most enjoyable part of my service was the trip out to the elementary school I took about a month ago. actually seeing the kids and seeing cocky interacting with them was great and it really inspired me to want to work more with the program. I loved the way the kids reacted to reading and because of that visit I am convinced that the program is worth the time and money the college devotes to it. I found my time there beneficial because I feel like I played a part in building students literacy skills in south Carolina. Lastly I am looking forward to volunteering for Cocky's Reading express next semester and maybe going on a few more trips !!!
