Lights, Camera, Read!




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.
