Stark said students are chosen
based on their abilities to present
their culture, their English-speaking
abilities and their need for financial
support.
Haxhiraj has participated in the
program since 1999, and she said one
of the reasons she applied was for the
financial assistance.
"It's a great financial incentive for
international students," she said,
adding that she thought it would be
a way to improve her English abili
ties and immerse herself in Ameri
can culture.
"You learn so much more about
your own culture because you have to
do research and learn more so you
can present whatever the audience is
asking for, "she said.
Haxhiraj said one of the challenges
she faces is learning how to balance a
full load of classes with the 80 hours a
year of community service.
"It can be very demanding," she said.
As part of the celebration, program
members also had cultural presenta
tions in the EMU for local school chil
dren on Monday and Wednesday.
There will also be presentations today
from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and 11
a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
"I think that it's a wonderful oppor
tunity for the kids," O'Hara Catholic
School teacher Kathy Stahmer said.
Her fifth-grade class was at the EMU
on Wednesday to learn about Viet
namese culture.
Eleven-year-old Lexie said she
was excited to learn about "Viet
namese stuff."
"I like to leam about new stuff," she
said. "It'sfun."
The children learned about aspects
of different cultures such as games
and stories.
"People just get so interested with
things they've never seen," graduate
student Veronica Sanchez said.
Sanchez, who just started on the
ICSP program this fall, said the
program allows students to "just
share the way you feel, or dress —
your culture."
Haxhiraj said she has fun every
time she presents her culture to the
community, and her favorite part is
when kids give her hugs after the pre
sentations or write her notes about
what they've learned.
"I take it to heart, you know, be
cause I want to be a teacher, and 1 love
kids," she said.
