Class related response

Last week Tuesday on April 21st , we took a school trip to BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) to finally perform a scene from " A midsummer night's dream" by William Shakespeare and watch other schools perform their own scenes. I was excited to see how my classmates would do but one thing was missing.... Our Demetrius!!  Ms.hegeman went around and searched and couldnt find him. She then eventually asked me too fill the role and i gladly accepted. When we got there we played the game yosemite , rehearsed one more time and then ate some pizza (wasn't very warm). I sorta had some butterflies but I was more than ready. When we were going out on the stage , I looked up and saw hundreds of people in the crowd and got a lil stage fright, it was a good thing my group did not go first. After seeing the first group go and do a great job that just boost my confidence and I wanted to do even better. When our performance was done , we received a big round of applause and gave the crowd a bow. I felt relieved that it was over with and that me and my group did a great job .

Today we went to a Senior Conference and I found it very informative. It was in the Abyssinian baptist church, the church where we will be graduating in. Once we got there we had a little breakfast and then we sat and heard a speech from Justice Milton A. Tingling, The county clerk of New York county and clerk of the supreme Court. He spoke to us about registering to vote and Police awareness. Afterwards, we went to our first activity and that was the "Interviewing Skills" workshop held by André Hooks, a representative at Wood Tobé- Coburn School. He basically taught us how to prepare for an interview. Next workshop we went too was a Motivational/ Consciousness workshop and had a session on "Finding your identity in college" held by Kevin Chen a Sophomore at Columbia University. We basically talked about how our identities shape our transition into college and post high school life. The last workshop we went too was a Co-Ed Sexual Education workshop held by Shawn Watkins and Ana Marin. The whole conference was very interesting and I enjoyed it.
