Today we were given a question in order to start what we came here for. The MPC Handbook. I picked up a question which was the following: How does a student learn the ethical principle of a free society at MPC?
Later on, as everyone picked their questions we got together with our groups and started brainstorming many ideas that came to our mind in order to write them down in a paper. After having a map diagram with our brainstorming we could talked to our group, because two people were missing, Lore of our group and Franz from Gaby and Chacho's group, we paired with them and made an excellent team work. We gave ourselves feedback about what things were left unclear, what other things must be added or just to suggest whatever. We had a very intense dialogue and had it recorded on Diego's computer, when all of a sudden our conversation was lost in history, the video had deleted by itself and there was no way to recover it. But anyways, I came to the conclusion that the roaster was the answer to my questions along with many other things, but the roaster was the principal. First I had to conclude what were ethics, what was a free society, what are the ethical principles of an MPC students. It was long but very interesting question, I enjoyed every second of it.
In the picture you can see ourselves, Diego and I, very frustrated after noticing our dialogue was not recorded. After discussing the brainstorm, we had to make an outline on what we were going to write about. Bert lent me a high school rubric book that helped me a lot to think the importance of making a rubric. Afterwards we read a series of essays of liberal arts educations along the years and it's importance to society. After reading these essays I cannot be more thrilled of being part of such a lucky group of pioneers trying to give meaning to our lives.
It was not all perfect and beautiful at Atitlán, we encountered many problems with each other, that if were not from this trip we could have never learn from each other. We noticed we could not commit to a lot of things we said we will going to. We had problems with the lunch and dinners orders, also respect silent areas, here and at the campus. We must do a traveling rubric urgently. Bert gave up on us and we were in our own trying to fix the mess we created. We wrote a letter to Iguana Perdida owners apologizing for the inconvenience we had caused while our stay because of the food ordering and said we will tell in advance the days we were not eating there. This was a great opportunity for us to learn that we are the responsible of our actions and that if we commit to something we must honor it no matter what, for everyones commodity. Afterwards, we had said every detail that bother us, we were back together making jokes, spending time together and just laughing at the situation.
This day was another day of sleeping early and hope for the best tomorrow.
