Flexible
Flexible
By Taylor Porchey
The train trip from Norman to the Fort
Worth was interesting because of the nature of the class dynamic and the ways in
which we navigated Fort Worth together. Normally, I tour Fort Worth
with my family or simply drive through to get to either Norman or Houston, but
this experience was unique. Looking at
Fort Worth through eyes of a tourist while trying to experience the trip as a
tourist and an objective student was new, exciting and did not come without
challenges. I enjoyed not having an agenda, but rather having tasks that needed
to be completed – it allowed for a little more flexibility than I am used to
and gave me a taste of how I imagine Puerto Rico will be like, not having a set
agenda and just rolling with the assignments. With the various media available
on the go, I was able to look up bus routes, the famous Molly Trolley’s routes,
as well as pick up a hard copy of a walking map of downtown Fort Worth and the
Stock Yards. Navigating Fort Worth was easy with the right tools and the right
people right in front of us, got us to our destination. It was great to see
that many restaurants and shops we passed by had ways to connect with them
either online or through social media – one of the main things we are studying.
The appeal of the old cow town experience made me believe that people come for
the simplicity and stay for the lively, historic ambiance – I know I did.
