Through this project, I experienced emotional up and down and also I understood people’s different reactions to the same situation.
In the first one or two months, I saw many international students cry missing their home countries but I had not cried at all since I enjoyed the life here so much. However, I cried for the first time here when my dean asserted me that I have no choice but keep on living in the dorm and eating the food in the dining hall when I told her that I wanted to live off campus to eat safer food. I was shocked because I studied and experienced about organic food and GMO food and felt uncomfortable to eat at the dining hall. This experience made me realize how important the food is to me.
I appreciate this project since it actually let me search deeply, take an action and finally get a permission to live off campus in the next semester. I would like to eat the food which was raised by the earth, the sun and the farmers’ love.
Also, it was surprising that my project partner had a different impression to the same interview, and she liked the dining hall more than before.
Even though it is important to tell your opinion to other people, I thought, it is after all individual who makes a decision as I learned from The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas.
As for other presentations, I was impressed by the critical observation at the zoo. This is exactly the example of treating animals as "objective".
