On November 19, I did a successful and fruitful presentations on my Spanish and World History class. It's an honor for me to present my country for about 50 students including my teachers. As my Spanish teacher requested, I included the history of Spanish invasion and colonization in the Philippines. They were very attentive as I'm discussing my presentation using PowerPoint. They were mesmerized and astonished when I show them a video clip containing beautiful and marvelous tourist destinations in the Philippines. They really enjoyed the beaches, mountains, falls and all stunning places in my country. They learned some of the cultures of Filipinos-- the art, traditions and especially the values. I also sang Philippine National Anthem and I sought their interest while I'm singing the song. I danced a cultural dance of the Philippines called "Pawakan" and they seem enjoying watching me with my supple movements. I am really energized with their enthusiastic queries and I'm very fulfill answering them. After my presentation, some of them asked my Facebook and Instagram account. After that successful presentation. I learned and realized how interested are American students on other countries.Their docility to expand their knowledge on other countries is fantastic. As I seek some information on Spanish era in the Philippines, I learned more. I hope I could have many presentations as many as I can. I really enjoyed the IEW. Thanks God for this wonderful opportunity. —Harris (YES, Philippines)
