For my campus involvement project, I attended four UNK events which included a Mike Super magic show, a glowrage, dragshow, and a football game. All events were really enjoyable and while most of the events I went to weren’t particularly “educational”, I feel like I learned some important information and gained social experiences. The Mike Super Magic show was put on by LPac on October 23, 2015. Mike Super was the winner of the NBC show, Phenomenon. He’s an illusionist who currently tours the US and Canada. When I went to his show, I thought it was going to be card tricks that would have been easy to figure out later on the internet. However, I was very wrong. The tricks that he did seemed absolutely impossible for a human being to do without some spiritual force behind it all. He even called on his “friend” Desmond to help him with a couple particular tricks. Some of the tricks he performed included a women holding an empty glass pitcher over a trash can. He had us force our energy towards the pitcher as he called on his friend Desmond. After a couple …show more content…
I went with a couple friends not really knowing what to expect since it was the first show I’ve attended. The dragshow was interesting to say the least. The contestants of the show would dance while people would throw money at them. I felt like I was at a strip club at points. As a believer in God I don’t think he makes mistakes when it comes to people’s gender, however I do believe he still loves everybody regardless of how they think of themselves. It was interesting to see how people present and express themselves in ways that others don’t. I think it’s very important for Christians to understand that hating others for their beliefs isn’t going to make them want to be a follower of God. Learning to love these people regardless of how they see themselves is a daily task I’m working on every day in
Dance is a very unique entity to study that comes with many benefits. It is a way of connecting to culture. Dance has a sense of history and community being portrayed throughout the movement. Some of the popular dances from the Caribbean include the Merengue, Rumba, and Cha Cha. Not only are these dances upbeat and fun, but they offer the opportunity to embody the culture instead of just learning about it through a passive manner.
The accapella group and the drum group was very interesting to watch. It was fun to learn the school cheers that could be used at sporting events. It was also fun to dance along to the song that was played. Sitting through the speeches was not a part that I particularly enjoyed but I know that they were very insightful and that the advice will help me later in life. Hearing from the Chancellors and the Deans of the school was very helpful. To be able to put a face to a person and realize that they are just that, a person, is extremely
This event was inspired by the desire to create something to invite the rest of campus can come to.
A great impact that I witnessed that year is when I took the school field trip to numerous colleges close to the city. I had never been to a university or even a community college. Therefore, me going to those visit gave me a greater idea on what type of college I'd like to attend. One of the colleges I remembered we toured to was Lakeland Community College. I really liked the aspects that it has, with the classrooms even the on campus living. Taking trip like that sets your mind up but also prepares you to know what to expect and look for when you are college searching.
The school activity that was the most meaningful to me was and will be my senior year Kairos experience. Kairos is a four-day retreat that led by seniors at my high school. It is meant to be a time of rest and spiritual awakening for all those that participate. It gives students time to discover themselves, form a bond with classmates, and ponder their relationship with God. There are two ways to experience Kairos. The first way to experience Kairos is by attending it as a student. The second way to experience Kairos is by being a leader of a future Kairos.
Most that I attended were those that were open to the public. I started to see from a political what was happening. I could also take my views as a student and have my input in the meetings as well. I loved being able to give my opinion in the meetings. Knowing it may make a difference to a place that I love is satisfying and just makes a high school student feel great. Getting involved is probably the best thing I had done in my town. I had the chance to meet new people, talk about plans for what could be done to bring business to the town, and contribute to the
Kedziepalooza was an exciting and interesting experience for me to attend. I very much enjoyed eating the Chipotle—because I’m a college kid and it was free Mexican food. I had a great time dunking an absolute stranger in the dunk tank as well. What surprised me the most was the vast and diverse opportunities that were offered and represented at the event. I gained great interest in the Advertising Club booth and The Collegian. All organizations sparked an interest in me, and promoted stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things.
The event was definitely needed on campus especially during Black History Month being. The students that attended enjoyed the performance and the
Throughout the last four weeks, I’ve attended several events at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. Some events were more organized than others, but each event had a different purpose and all of the events was executed well. While in high school I participated in many on and off school activities; in which taught me a valuable lesson that I later on used at the events on campus. The activities taught me good communications skills that I needed during the events. During the events I got the chance to use my communications skills that I learned by participating in activities in high school. I got the chance to interact with new people and experience new things that I never done before. Out of all the events I attended, I believed Rock the Clock was the most beneficial.
My overall experience in going to the event was very good. It allowed me to meet some new people in the process that I wouldn’t see in class, or during a regular week. It was a fun event that I went to, for I got to go something new, for I’ve never been to an all-female college soccer
Another activity that I enjoyed was helping out with the HawaiiCC day; which was a college fair for middle and high school students. The events were different programs and student services provided from the college. In our table we had Financial Aid, Carpentry Academy, and Fire Science. As we waited for the students from middle and high schools to come to our table, I got to experience the traditional Native Hawaiian welcome ceremony called Kipaepae; which they dance, sing, and played the drums. As the Kipaepae ended students began to visit the tables, at the beginning students were not interested in our club, but soon as our AJ club members began to shoot toilet paper in the toilet; which is like a basketball game, but instead of a ball its
I absolutely participated in Slope Day. Slope Day just seemed like a group effort. It was end of year, everyone 's excited to be finished with the year. So that 's kind of a given. I 'd say the Alpha Phi Alpha homecoming was something that we always did. Honestly now as an alumni, I look back and get all these messages about the events, like Zinck 's Night and all that. I didn 't participate in any of that, the traditional Cornell events. [Instead] we had the Black Gospel festival... Honestly I think if my group of friends and community didn 't seem very involved, weren 't very involved in events like Cornell 's Homecoming and Zinck 's and all that, I didn 't seem very interested in it. Even knowing the history I just wasn 't very
The event that I attended for the Civic Engagement Project was the Kansas State Fair and Same Hunt Concert. The Kansas State Fair took place from September 11, 2015 at 8:00 AM to September 20, 2015 as 5:00 PM in Hutchinson, Kansas. I attended both the Kansas State Fair and a concert for Same Hunt on September 13, 2015 at 7:30 PM in Hutchinson, Kansas. The purpose of the concert was entertainment and the purpose of the Kansas State Fair was to showcase agriculture, industry, and culture in Kansas. It is a great way for different diversities to share in common interests while also learning about Kansas cultures from all around the state.
While many of my peers stressed and sighed over having to complete this assignment, I looked forward to it. During this activity, I was able to experience first hand how diverse our campus is, I was able to tour the college, and most importantly, this activity required me to step out of my comfort zone and further strengthen my ability to interact with others. I took advantage of the resources available and participated in all of the workshops, events, and presentations I had the opportunity to. In brief, all events I attended were beneficial, yet by far, my favorite, and the most memorable, was Cookies and Current Events. Attending this event allowed me to have a better look at what is happening in the world around me. It allowed me to see different issues and events, issues many, including myself, due to busy lifestyle and hectic schedule, didn’t even realize are occurring. Completing my G.P.S requirement enabled me to become a more diverse person, it was influential to the utmost extent. I truly enjoyed attending the events and being able to experience everything Florida SouthWestern State College has to
Going into this experience, I expected to feel slightly uncomfortable. I was born and raised a Catholic, and my experience involved me going in and learning about the Muslim religion. While I am open to learning about and experiencing new ideas I knew that this event might challenge some of the things I had grown up leaning about. I also knew this event would focus on the modeling industry so I expected this to focus on things like sexism and the stresses of being in the business. Some of this I could relate to. There is this idea that women need to be unhealthily thin and look like models who are photo shopped.
