Last week we finished our
first essay and the project to highlight our paper was to create a magazine
cover. We were to build a cover that had
the aesthetics of a real-life magazine with a catchy title, phrases, and quotes
incorporated from our essay to entice the reader to pick it up when they see it
at a newsstand.
My essay was about an
older female trying to join the military, which I named “The Recruit” with the
edition being the title of my essay, "Fitter not Fatter".
The English Department has
a program that it runs every semester and is showcased at the multi-purpose
auditorium. One of the professors was
seeking performers so I volunteered to search for some talented people to join
this wonderful opportunity.
I had found two willing
participants but they were a bit shy, so I assured them that I would be there
to support so I signed myself up to perform as well.
After communicating
through email, we finalized the details of our performance, we were scheduled
to do a half hour show for two consecutive days.
My friends were going to
go up on stage to perform an American Sign Language song and read poetry and I
would read two children's books that featured Chamorro language as well as the fruits and vegetables found on Guam.
I felt happy about sharing
the books more so on practicing with a larger audience for story time. I was nervous going up on stage but when I
saw the smiling and enthusiastic faces in the crowd I was motivated to do a
good job and prove to myself that I am a future educator.
