While with Ms. Rachel, the two Howard students were asked a
series of questions about college. The girls asked about how is it to live in a
dorm, what kinds of food do they eat in college, what kind of classes do they
take, and what kind of music is played or allow in college. For many of our
students, this was their first time interacting with a college student. It was
a really great experience for them. It helped to make college very attainable
and real for them. And after their question and answer session, the students
assisted the Ladybugs with planting cucumber seeds for the BUGS Farmer’s
Market.
Along with visiting Ms. Rachel and the
Ladybugs, the Howard University volunteers also completed some work with Mr.
Terry, the Creative Arts Educator, and the Spiders. They were able to assist
the students with their homework and then transitioned into component time. The
volunteers and BUGS students worked together to create tape wallets and
earrings for the BUGS Farmer’s Market. It is our annual farmer’s market that
happens the last Saturday in April on the 30th.
It was truly a pleasure having the
college students from Howard University volunteer and visit our campus. It was
a great experience for the BUGS students. It gave them an opportunity to see
what their future could be. And that’s one of the things BUGS is about.
