Last Sunday was a Target Sunday, so of course, there were more visitors. But that wasn't the only reason. It was a day to celebrate Filipino American History Month! It was our first day working on a cultural day, but it was so exciting. The music and performances were amazing. Especially the singing. I know the other interns and I really wanted to just take the mic and sing. It would have been so much fun if we did!
I thought that it was really great seeing people making their vessels and just making art. This was a more individual, personal project so most people just wanted be left alone. So I mostly just taught people how to fold the paper canoes and cleaned up after visitors who had left. This was definitely a very messy project due to the few spills of mod podge and some people leaving behind materials that they did not use, but clean up is part our job right?
The messiness was the only thing I could complain about. The pros definitely outweighed the cons, and I am really looking forward to the next cultural celebration!
