Mid-Year Symposium

The first presenter at the symposium spoke about stereotypes based on the experiences that he's faced in his life due to his ethnicity and his size. He gave examples regarding the KKK and a man who was able to turn his life around, and Jeremy did this to show that if you give a person a chance, they can surprise you and actually be nothing like you would originally expect. The second presenter, Meghan, wrote a paper about the benefits of eating organically, even if it is more expensive. She claims that it's worth the investment because food plays a role in most aspects in our lives, and she gave the saying "You are what you eat" and suggested at the end that we "Make the change". I thought both of the presentations were very interesting, and it was a good experience.
