MY EXPERIENCE

THANKSGIVING DAY

 

 

In the United States, Thanksgiving Day is a celebration more than special and steeped in traditions and customs.

The meaning of this festival, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November - the day before Black Friday - is gratitude for the harvests and its origin dates back to the arrival in the United States of the first settlers from England.

The beginning of this deep-rooted celebration is related to the arrival in the United States of the Mayflower, a ship with more than 100 English settlers, in 1620.

One of the ingrained customs is to hold the meeting at the home of the oldest relative. At a certain point in the meeting, each one gives thanks for the good things obtained that year.

Pumpkin pie, carrot cake, and vegetable cream are also commonly served.

Another tradition is that the boys prepare a centerpiece, with natural elements and typical of the countryside - such as scarecrows or pumpkins.

The meeting also usually revolves around the classic soccer game of the date. In addition, large stores usually hold parades with floats and children's characters. Macy's has been the most anticipated since 1927.

 My experience in  virtual classes

My experience in types of pandemic is that it has been very particular, since no one thought that something would happen, being in virtual classes and not face-to-face has its advantages and disadvantages, the advantages are that I do not have to travel every day to Ibarra anymore I am from Otavalo, another advantage is that we are taking care of the pandemic without leaving our homes, the disadvantages is that it is not the same to study at the university face-to-face than being in the ac because you learn more in person, you concentrate more in the classes, in general it was a good experience since it is the first time that I study in this way.
