Self Selected Response

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.
