  1. I really enjoyed um, listening to Dr Holtzman engaging with
  2. her on the zoom call and reading the overweight brain.
  3. She definitely changed the way that I saw play.
  4. I saw it as something that was unnecessary and just
  5. something we did as kids and grew up from, but
  6. she kind of challenged.
  7. She challenged my way of thinking, and I am trying
  8. to actively incorporated in the daily tasks that I do
  9. whenever I'm like sorting clothes or just doing tedious tasks.
  10. I try to sing to get my creative juices flowing,
  11. and it's honestly just very beneficial to do so because
  12. it functions.
  13. It's kind of as a break, or it takes my
  14. mind off the tusks that I'm doing, which is really
  15. great. She offered a really cool to really cool examples
  16. of three work she had done at the New York
  17. Decide Institute, where law enforcement officers and minority groups were
  18. just joined with the play activities.
  19. There was a lot of built up tension from past
  20. history and just the way that their relationships have gone,
  21. but it really did make a huge impact, Um, on
  22. the hospital workers.
  23. It also increase their productivity and brought them together before
  24. the play.
  25. They were just very distant from each other and not
  26. really working as a unit.
  27. And so she showed me the impact of play and
  28. the importance of it.
  29. And three information was definitely shocking because play was something
  30. that was unnecessary to me beforehand.
  31. Um, she brought a lot of information from other psychologists
  32. and their approaches to play as well.
  33. And it was heartwarming just to see them, um, how
  34. it brought people from all over the world together.
  35. James Fodor definitely had more of an investigative approach to
  36. the way he goes about his life.
  37. He was a Mormon for 20 years, and he kind
  38. of one day decided to do some more research and
  39. form his own ideas.
  40. And I really admire that about him.
  41. A lot of us are just taught to go with
  42. our parents were told how are raised, and we just
  43. are expected to do that.
  44. And he really, um, encouraged just to form our own
  45. thinking toe, turn into our own person, which I really
  46. liked. He incorporates a lot of science aspect into, um
  47. the way he approaches life.
  48. And, um, an example.
  49. He had was just the way that he know he's
  50. alive is through the energy that he feels.
  51. And it was very insightful eye opening.
  52. And I feel relevant especially to us.
  53. As a freshman college students, we moved away from home,
  54. and now we definitely have the freedom to be into
  55. our own person.
  56. On Monday, played with Dr Ali was definitely one of
  57. the highlights from my experiences.
  58. Um, he really brought us out of our comfort zone,
  59. and he encouraged us to really engaged in participate and
  60. the fun activities he's had he had for us.
  61. Uh huh.
  62. In the beginning of the semester, I feel like this
  63. is especially necessary for me.
  64. I was really just go, go, go all the time,
  65. Just very tunnel vision focused on school.
  66. And I didn't really allow myself to take brakes because
  67. I was with the thinking that if I'm taking a
  68. break, there's something I could be doing.
  69. And I always wanted to be productive, But you really,
  70. um, just showed me the benefits of play and just
  71. how important it is for us to just be constantly
  72. engaging in in it.
  73. And so I really did enjoy the Monday.
  74. Play with him.
  75. I would recommend others to do so and to engage.
  76. I think that in the beginning, I was always uncomfortable
  77. with the idea of becoming I.
  78. I really like instant gratification.
  79. And so I was with the thinking.
  80. When I get into college, I'll be fine.
  81. Then when I graduate college, I'll be fine.
  82. When I get into Donna school, be fine.
  83. And so that kind of thinking is not really, um,
  84. positive, because I feel like I was never really satisfied.
  85. And so he kind of told us to kind of
  86. take a deep breath, enjoy the little moment and to
  87. try to have some fun.
  88. And I really enjoyed that.
  89. I had a speaking center appointment because from my communications
  90. costs we were to give a speech and to get
  91. feedback on it.
  92. Um, our speech was, ah, showcasing three items from our
  93. past present and future item I had from my past
  94. was my college folder notebook.
  95. Um, they had just on my portals, um, my portal
  96. passwords, all the information scholarship deadlines so represents my past
  97. because I don't have to worry about that now that
  98. I am in college.
  99. The president item I had was a U N C
  100. G Chance to shirt the U.
  101. N C G Chances up summer program that is just
  102. meant for Hispanic Latino students to get a taste of
  103. what the college life is like.
  104. And in the program, I met a lot of amazing
  105. faculty and stuff, and they were just very hard.
  106. Um, they just had a lot of heart into what
  107. they did.
  108. They were constantly checking up on me even when I
  109. was applying to other schools.
  110. And so that really influenced the decision for me to
  111. come here.
  112. Um, I also presented my teeth mold that as my
  113. future items since I wanna become a general dentist, Um,
  114. the process of getting my braces and everything really impacted
  115. my career choice.
  116. And so I would find I would say that, um,
  117. the feeding center appointment was informative and helpful because she
  118. really taught me how to kind of prevent from I'm
  119. using the verbal fillers and just kind of stay away
  120. from that.
  121. She really, um, also gave me, like, good good pointers
  122. on what I was doing good.
  123. Such as, like my eye contact my tone of voice
  124. and that you could clearly hear what I was saying.
  125. Um and so I I really think the speaking center
  126. apartment was really helpful.
  127. I definitely think that towards the beginning of the semester
  128. I'm becoming more a yeah of in pursuit of a
  129. person that allows myself to take breaks, which is, I
  130. think, um, the best growth I could have had on
  131. my theater class.
  132. I was to watch a U.
  133. N G production and just give my review on it
  134. and the one that I chose.
  135. I chose it because it was written by Jose Rivera,
  136. whose ah, Puerto Rican writer and I just thought I
  137. wanted. I just thought that I could see the representation,
  138. Um, but when I watched the play, it was definitely
  139. unexpected. It was just one sequence of events after another
  140. that I honestly did not see coming.
  141. And so since it was something I usually wouldn't go
  142. with, I'm glad that I saw it because it kind
  143. of just open my mind, toe, other things out there
  144. that I could, um, look into, and so I definitely
  145. didn't enjoy it.
