This past week the Ms. Kimberly Worthy discussed the principle of Ubuntu, which means “a person is a person because of other persons”. This was the first week that a woman provided us with a lecture and I was greatly pleased. She talked about the freedom to just “be”. In class she showed us a video about the LEAP Math and Science Academy in Africa. It was so amazing how these children were able to learn in an environment in which they were able to explore their culture and traditions. The fact that they were so in tune with heir African culture was so exciting for me. In my opinion, because these kids came together as a community and were so in tune with their culture they were able to exceed academic expectations. Also because these kids were given the freedom to work as they pleased, without stress and time constraints, they were able to be productive with little or no supervision in the classroom.
It was quite an inspiring experience and it really described the principles of Ubuntu
