Old School Baby ;]

Today in class we presented our old school projects, and I honestly had so much fun performing that today! I'm not going to lie, I have been a little nervous for the past couple of days, thinking about the ways to make this performance successful. However, I told myself that I was going to fill myself with energy walking into the class. I told myself to use that in today's performance. 

For some reason, when the seats were all set up in the audience, I looked around the class, and I really felt comfortable with every single person seated there. I felt that we were providing each other with a lot of positive energy, support, and comfort. This made me feel really good. 

At this point, I was no longer nervous or worried. I said I was just going to let go and be free. I was really happy with everyone's performances, and I think that everyone did such a fabulous job!!

At 11:30 P.M., I still have an adrenaline rush from today's class. I really wish I could just perform it again and relive the experience right now! It feels so good to be on stage and perform and watch other people express their talents as well! =]

Step up, step back, introduce yourself!

So, to this day, I still have that catchy phrase stuck in my head. But I love it because it brings back really good memories. All of them are funny. Honestly, if we were to get back into a circle, I could probably go around and say what each person's rhyme was about. This is probably because each person really brought something special to the group that really stood out to me. They each brought something unique to the table, and I really liked that. I love everyone's originality and what everyone contributes to this class. It really is special. =)

First Week

Hi Everyone! I'm really glad to be a part of this class. It's so nice that we're working together to become a family, rather than just classmates and supervisors. I feel really comfortable in front of this group of people because of the fact that I feel we are beginning to trust each other. It takes a lot of work, but I can see a lot in the near future for us. On top of that, I love how each and every person brings something creative and unique to the class. I really don't think it would be the same even if one person had been missing from the group.

This semester, I'm excited to learn so many new things. From the history of hip hop and African Studies to the place where it's brought us today. Also, I am eager to be able to let go and express myself in a free way. It's going to be so interesting to watch everyone else in this class do the same. I really think that this class is going to bring so much out of everyone, including the beauty that we all have inside of us. =)
