Today was almost a countdown to our whole tour. We were anticipated but at the same time regretful as time flies in the blink of an eye. We attended two lessons, Silicon Valley vs World: The Impact of Technology Today and Storytelling through Hip Hop, had a shopping time at the Stanford bookstore, and finally heading out to San Francisco for a baseball match.
In the beginning of the day, we had a lesson on the impact of technology on today’s world. The theme was mainly the technology of face recognition and how it impacted the world. As a controversial issue around the world, we had great interest and thorough understanding on problem after this lesson. By evaluating the pros and cons of different stakeholders, we learnt to respect others opinions and achieved a conclusion of benefits and drawbacks through active discussion. Overall, this lesson was relatively similar to daily lessons at school. Later, we had another lesson, which was storytelling through hip hop. We had a lot of games such as making up 6-words stories or even composing songs! This was truly a fascinating lesson since it was creative and astonishing.
After these formal studies, we finally had a precious time for shopping at Stanford Bookstore! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us to spent a lot of money to buy a huge bunch of Stanford souvenirs. As we had desperately waited and begged to go there, we all went crazy buying things irrationally.
Out to the highlight of the day, it was the baseball game! This baseball match was a game between the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets. This game was much more than ‘tremendously thrilling’ to describe to this baseball match. Although we didn’t know a lot about the sport baseball, but we were all immersed in the ecstatic atmosphere! In the middle of the match, a baseball suddenly ‘flew’ up the highest level where we were sitting. We were extremely shocked with our mouths opened. We almost got to catch the ball, but we didn’t. When it was the time to leave, we all felt so disappointed since we wanted to continue watching that. After that, we got incredibly exhausted for screaming so hard during the whole time.
Overall speaking, today was full of exposures of new things and new knowledge. These memories would definitely be kept forever. Lastly, we would treasure every time and every second of our life at Stanford University.
