For my guest speaker reflection, I feel as though I resonated the most with Karisa Tashjian from the Providence Public Library. She instantly gained my attention with her opening discussion. Like most new comers to our classroom, I was expecting her to have us go around the room and say our names and some fact about ourselves. Instead, she asked us to share our dream jobs and I thought that was a great way to start the class and get our minds thinking about where we want to end up after graduation. As a speaker, I feel as though she presented herself well and was very engaged in what students had to say. I absolutely loved the activity she did. She gave us a minute to brainstorm a list of all the fish we could think of. We then went around the room and made a class list of all the fish we had come up with. I believe her main point here was to show us that we can all learn from each other even when given the same task. This activity really resonated with me and I can see myself using this in a future youth space. In addition, she gave a lot of insightful information about various fundraising that goes on at the library. These conversations really resonated with our themes in class about individual and in kind fundraising. It was a great experience to be able to hear about how these things work first hand from a professional standpoint.
