Day six

Today we had a surprise waiting for us at the Navajo Prep School. At the Navajo Prep School we learned many different cultural histories. When we arrived at the school they had two student guides (Armando and Ana) waiting for us to tell us about the school. We went into the Student Success building and we were greeted by their singing group. When spent the day with some students and visited in some classes. The school was very laid back and the community was peaceful.

The three classrooms that we visited helped us learn as if we were the student. We sat in their english, history, and culture class. For lunch we sat around the Hogan and enjoyed the meal that the Navajo students prepared for us. It was a great experience to taste the food of a different culture. After we ate lunch, Armando sat in the Hogan and took it upon himself to sing to us. To hear a young man such as Armando sing to us for safe travels, was such an impact on all of us.

At the end of the day we were all privileged to be there and spend time with the students of the Navajo School. On our way out of the Navajo Prep School we gathered in the courtyard, and were blessed to hear Armando sing us another song in his native language. To say the least, we appreciate the opportunity to spend the day with another culture and will keep this with us for the rest of our lives.
