It has been seven days since we have arrived in San Antonio and we did a lot of things.                   When we left the airport my first thought was HEAT! Because it is really hot in here and of course I am not used to that heat. Well apart from that the Trinity´s campus is awesome. It gives so much Opportunities like the Gym and sports outside, all you can eat food in the morning, at lunch and dinner as well as church clubs and services which is my personal highlight from the social life at Trinity.

I really enjoy the classes that I am taking here. My classes are called: “the African experience”, “Literature of the Holocaust”, “The new Testament”, and I am taking a German class as well which is kind of fun because I get to teach other students. I really like the professors. They´re all super friendly and the classes are pretty interesting.

We went to different Events this week. We saw a great play with a powerful overall message, we also went to a really impressive and touching musical about Syrian refugees, we went to the Institute of Texan cultures and so much more!                                                                                                                                                                What I really loved this week was a recommend Event in the Auditorium Maximum. Two guys with the names Alvaro and Shawn came over and told their story which is called” after the fire”. They were both living in the same dorm on a university´s campus in New Jersey when one night two boys decided to make a prank and burn down the building. 3 People died in that fire, 52 got seriously hurt and injured and the other two were Shawn and Alvaro who were burned from bottom to top. They suffered so much and I can never imagine how hard that must have been. It seems so unfair that these two by that time 18 years old boys went through such a horrible thing. I can never imagine what their friends and family must have gone through and I can never relate to the fact that the ones who did this only got two and a half years in prison. But in the end I can say that I know that the bible tells me that God would never make us go through things, we cannot come out successfully.
“God has a purpose for your pain, a reason for your struggle and a reward for your faithfulness.   Don’t give up!”

Hi everyone. My Name is Persis also known as “Pée” and I am 20 years old. I was born in Hamburg, Germany and I also grew up over there. My parents are from Ghana, so I have African roots that I totally love. I finished school last year and started studying in Kiel. I study to become a teacher for middle and high school. I always knew I wanted to work with kids and young adults in my future, especially because I used to get a lot of positive feedback about having skills of someone who could be working with kids and youth. My teacher as well as other people always kept telling me that I’d be a great teacher someday. The decisive moment, I knew I would want be a teacher was when I saw so many of my friends failing their exams and losing their motivation, because the teachers already told them they won’t make it either way. I promised myself I’ll make it better someday, because everybody deserves good teachers who can be mentors, idols and people to look up to and also good edu

On Thursday the 14th of September we went to San Antonio’s City Hall, because the major invited us. He is really friendly and it is cool to know that he went to Trinity. It was pretty nice, sitting in the city Hall especially when I think of how the city hall in Germany looks.   The most striking thing for me was a Video that was shown. It showed poor people who are in need of public transportation. This minority of people are turning in to a majority. They wake up early in because they cannot have cars since they are too expensive and they are being paid less. I could never imagine the city I live in, which is Hamburg without public transportation. People could not go anywhere it would be horrible. I always hate when my Bus is a few minutes late, but now I know that I should be glad that my bus comes at least every ten minutes! I feel so sorry for all the people and I hope that going to work is going to be easier in the future! “Transportation is the center of the
