I must say that not only this semester, but this year has been an incredible one. The highlight of my whole year, though, has been the time I've spent in Creole Crossroads. I never would have thought that I would be taking field trips in college. But thats not the only reason why I love Creole Crossroads, I love this class because it challenged my mind and allowed me to love my hometown again. At the beginning of semester, Dr. Hunt asked the class if we thought this was one of the greatest cities in the world in terms of culture. I said no. The reason why I said this was because I could not get past the negative aspects of the city, such as crime, corruption, and poverty. Over the course of this class I learned that there is more to New Orleans than I ever realized. I learned that though New Orleans gets a bad rap for being corrupt and party all the time kind of city, there is something beautiful through it all. The art, architecture, food, music, and most importantly the people make this city unique and larger than life. Also, I gained a general understanding of the Creoles and Cajuns, but there is still so much I have to learn. I will start by reading Creoles of Louisiana over the summer. I want to thank you all for sharing your experiences and allowing me to know something about your hometowns. I mostly want to thank Dr. Hunt for introducing us to another side of the city and genuinely caring about us. I hope that we all will meet again in the future, but if our paths do not cross again I wish you all much success and happiness.
Peace & Blessings,
Jasmine
