class related response

Last week tuesday, we attended the BAM trip. I wasn't really interested in going to the trip but I'm glad that I went. I honestly thought that our school weren't ready to perform but the performances came out way better than I expected it to be. I think our school our school did a good job making the performance into modern day talk because it made it funny. It was interesting to watch because they turned a boring Shakespeare play into something entertaining to watch. One of my favorite parts of the performance was when alexis messed up as the Lion but in a way it went with the play. You can tell that she was nervous by how ran off the stage. Overall I think everyone did a good job including the other schools.

Self Selected Response

Over the break, I visited the college that i will be attending in the fall which is Suny Cobleskill. I was a bit excited about going because i was finally going to be able to see what the college would look like and is the college everything they said it was. I was actually surprised about how friendly people were and there were more African Americans there than I thought it would be. I liked how some of the advisors made you feel welcome into the school. My major happens to be the same as some of the advisors on campus so it was helpful to me because they were able to give me a brief description about what it is like. One thing I can say is that from beginning to end I felt like I made the right choice by applying to the school.

Class Related Response 3/25

One of the classes that I enjoy the most is Statistics. When i first found out that i had a statistics class i thought it would be extremely hard because of how it sounds.Now that i'm in the class i don't think its too bad.Certain subjects of it are easier than others but for the most part i get it.  I feel that Mr.Rich is a really good teacher. He helps me to understand the work better and always has an easier way to do the work even though i was never really good in math .I like how he's able to teach one lesson and i'm able to get majority of the lesson within one day. Because of this i was able to achieve honor roll in this class once again. I'm proud of myself because i've been on the honor roll since the beginning of the school year. I feel like this is quite an accomplishment for me because it shows that i still work hard even though i've gotten lazy at this time in the year. Hopefully i can try to make my other class grades as high as this one.

Tv Show

One of my favorite Tv shows is the new series "Empire". I like this show because of the message that its sending. This is the type of show to keep you wondering about whats going to happen next.The three sons Andre, Jamal, and Akeem are basically going up against one another to see who has what it takes to own empire. This show is interesting because it tells a story of how fame or money can tear a family apart which is something a lot of people can relate to. Also each character is different and is going through different things that people also go through such as Jamal . Jamal is different because he is gay which is what makes him my favorite character. His dad ( Lucious) hasn't really accepted the fact that he is gay so he tends to give him more of a hard time then his other two children because he doesnt feel he's good enough. I think Jamal is the character who stands out the most for Gay people as a whole because some parents wont accept there child because of it and society makes it seem as if its a crime to be gay.
