Community Meetings

For my community meetings I attended two events at my old high school.
The first event I attended was the fall musical production of Godspell. During my community service time I came to a full day rehearsal and practice for the show and helped the students and director. Because I got to have this time with the cast I was very excited to see everything put together. I have never seen Godspell before and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The students, who were all members of the Advanced Improv. class had to not only act, like they did in class, but sing and dance as well. Some people may see Godspell as a religious play, but the simple message it portrays is to love and help those around you and that in itself is an imprtant message to give to not only students, but the whole school community.
I also attended a high school football game. When I was in high school our team was never that good. We used to go to the games, not to watch, but to socialize and go figure, not much has changed. I spent most of the game people watching. Sometimes I wonder if I was that annoying at that age. Some kids were sitting with parents, others had rows of friends and some spent the whole game under the bleachers fooling around. There was a group of 5 guys with R A M S ! painted on their stomachs. they had to be freezing, but they were having a great time cheering their friends and school on. Southern ended up winning by 6 and even I was excited. As i walked out I heard talk about weekend plans, crushes and boyfriends, bad teachers and the classes they taught and opinions on who the cutest guy on the team was. It was definitely a learning experience to just sit back and watch the students and how they acted, not in school, but in a school function.
