I\u2019ve found the relationship that I\u2019ve had with other fellows to be the most surprising, spontaneous, and endearing part of this summer. Two occasions of our time together come to the forefront of my mind to describe our relationship: a lunch at Frita Batidos (a fabulous restaurant which seeks to promote Cuban fusion food and is pictured below) and an outing to Briarwood Mall. I\u2019ve found that I really liked getting to know other fellows in a relaxed, social setting. We\u2019ve talked about matters from serious to silly in nature: whether it\u2019s the process of seeking to fit into environments where we\u2019re social outsiders from a racial, ethic, and socio-economic perspective to finding an appropriate outfit to wear. Establishing these relationships has been very helpful and important to me because they give me an outlet to express my thoughts and feelings. I credit WAGSFP in establishing an inclusive and respectful environment where I\u2019m comfortable in being personable with the people around me.<\/p>\n<p>My relationship with my research mentor has definitely grown during the summer as well and we are able to have long-winded discussions about modern politics that relate to current literature with a sense of ease. I look forward to strengthening these relationships as time goes on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2616 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/wagsfp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-27-at-1.31.00-PM-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/wagsfp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-27-at-1.31.00-PM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/wagsfp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-27-at-1.31.00-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/wagsfp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-27-at-1.31.00-PM-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/wagsfp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/61\/2018\/07\/Screen-Shot-2018-07-27-at-1.31.00-PM.png 410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I reflect back on my experiences within WAGSFP, the people surrounding me have definitely made this time productive, engaging, and enjoyable in nature.
