Today’s weather was temperate after yesterday’s taste of monsoon season. The morning started with Dr. Rodriguez’s lecture on social emotional learning, motivation and problem solving. We learned about fixed/growth mindset, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation and 10 ways to encourage intrinsic motivation in children. After listening to the wonderful presentation from Dr. Rodriguez, we had a luncheon with our Korean students, and it was my first time trying Korean pizza! The pizza was delicious! I got to try the angus beef & shrimp cheese pizza. The pizzas in Korea taste nothing like the pizza we have back in the US. There were whole pieces of tiger striped shrimp, pineapple, potato, jalapeno, beef, and onion on the shrimp pizza. The beef pizza had a sweet and savory marinade on the angus beef along with tomato, peppers, onions, and a creamy white sauce dripped on top. I had a great time catching up with my group during the luncheon. It was nice to see everyone bonding with their group mates with delicious pizza. Afterwards, we had SEL prep from 1-5pm to prepare for tomorrow’s family day event. I was in group 6, and we oversaw teaching the Korean children at Woosong University’s preschool center how to play dreidel. The Korean students in my group also wanted us to work on a project we are collaborating on, which was decorating kites together! Among our cohort, I got to see a lot of my classmates’ artistic skills come out when they began doodling on the board together. Our high school intern Bensen got to try a new hairdo done by some of our classmates and it turned out looking great! Afterwards, I went to Skyroad, a famous attraction place in Daejeon to grab some baked pastries from Sung Shim Dang, a famous Michelin starred bakery. I ended the night trying the spicy seafood croquette, which was tasty and worth the crowd and hype! -Michelle
