Journals

Hi J and Q:  As you know each of us will be bringing a journal on our trip to write in at the end of each day. I was just reading something and I thought it was so perfect...that I wanted to share it with you:

In the world of experiential education (this just means learning from experiences not from books), journals function as an amulet. (do you know what an amulet is?). They not only help us to record our journeys, our memories, transformative events, and innermost thoughts; journals help us discover who we are. 

Our journals will be private. But sometimes, if we want to, we can read them to each other. Each of us will be having a very different trip even though we will all be together. Reading from our journals will help us learn about the world from each other's eyes as well.
