As the semester draws to a close, I look back on the last few months and wonder where the time went. It seemed that just yesterday, my classmates and I were being introduced to New Orleans. It's amazing to see what we've all learned in just a few short months time.
When I talk about this class to my family and friends, I stress the way in which we were all encouraged to apply what we learned in class to our project. MIT prides itself on urging its students to participate in a hands-on education. We are told from day one never to be satisfied with a theoretical lesson when it can be applied somewhere and benefit the world. This class was a prime example and something I truly appreciate as I approach my final year at MIT.
In the last semester, all of us were able to travel to a city far away, talk to real people, and discuss real solutions to various problems faced by New Orleans. This is not an opportunity given to many others, and I am reminded every day of how lucky we are to go to such an amazing institution. I truly loved this past semester in 11.027 and hope to take what I've learned with me in the future. Hopefully, I can return one day and see how our beloved Federal City has fared.
