Resting in Peace

It is day four.  I had a great day.  Today we met up with the Yallahs High School scholars and got together to talk about what different concepts we were going to include in our documentary.  Afterwards we presented our information.  We began talking and asking about their traditions of music, dance and language.  We also talked about their traditions of memorializing people when they pass away.  We had a great connection and lots of information to talk about.  In the near future, I will connect their traditions when somebody passes away with mine.  In addition, their traditions aren’t so different from how we memorialize our loved ones in America.  Furthermore, I will use my intelligent mind to help build new things in my community that are similar to what is in Jamaica.
