Everyone knows I love a good reflection. So yesterday morning, to kick off our wrap-up week for our 8 week group of SECorps students, a offered to lead an interactive group reflection session, in true Berkeley Global Poverty and Practice fashion. I put up four posters on the walls, labelled with four specific prompts – Motivations, Successes, Challenges, and Next Steps – and challenged the students to take some time to write down some words or phrases that represented their motivations for coming to Guatemala as an SECorps intern, the successes and challenges they faced in the field, and the next steps that they intend to take now that their experience is coming to a close. We then came together as a group to discuss and share.
