What I learned in Intercultural Communication Class I have learned a great deal about different cultures and the communication between those cultures. I didn’t really think I would learn as much as I did. I am from an older cohort than most of the people in my class; therefore my experience level is a little greater.

Joey’s graduation was on a picture-perfect day. It was on one of those days where you could take a picture and slap it on a post card. It was a typical Amarillo, Texas day. It was 95 degrees Fahrenheit without a single cloud in the sky. Even the day after the graduation was scorching hot, though even the heat couldn’t dry up my ocean of sadness. This was the last day I would see my cousin. I remember watching the scenery change while sat in the van. My family and I were heading to my cousin’s graduation

In what was one of the most fertile areas of the United States, one of the Nation’s worst agricultural disasters occurred. No rain came so crops did not grow, leaving the soil exposed to the high winds that hit the area in the 1930s.
