Learning Communities Showcase

Hii! =) At the beginning of the semester, during registration, I registered for 2 linked communities courses. I'm sure most of you know what I am talking about, but for those of you who dont... It is basically two classes back to back with the same people in both classes. My linked course that I chose was Criminal Justice 101 with Professor Kimora and English 101 with Prof. Jacques. I thought that this was such an amazing program because I was able to meet some great friends and really get close with them (because we had two classes together, the classes werent as big, and we were just able to connect better)
Towards the end of the semester, the learning communities classes had final projects. The project the Professor Kimora present was, "In a perfect world, one aspect of criminal justice is..." For my presentation, I did that, In a perfect world, one aspect of criminal justice is that there would be complete trust in the criminal justice system and respect among the people. When my professor first told us about the projects, she also told us about a showcase at the end of the semester presenting for President Travis, the Provost Jane Bowers, and other professors and guests of the John Jay community. When I first heard about this opportunity, I wasnt sure if I necessarily wanted to sign up because I'm horrible at presenting and I get nervous easily. But I figured, why not? I'll just write up a speech and prepare prepare prepare, so i'll know the stuff with the snap of a finger haha. I presented for the class and I thought that it went well. Even though I did feel my voice breaking a little during my speech, I was still able to get my point across.
On the day of the actual showcase, I was so nervous and I even had a little stressful moment because my partner had my poster board and she was running late. But eventually she showed up and the program started. When the first person came up to us, I was extremely nervous... but as more and more people came up to us... I became less tense because it actually wasnt so bad. I knew my stuff and their was nothing to worry about. I also realized that my eye contact had gotten better as the program went on because I started feeling more and more confident about my speech.
The program took place in the multipurpose room. I thought that this was a great opportunity for all the learning community classes to really show off what they have learned throughout the semester. I saw some amazing projects and I am so happy that I was a part of this whole experience and the presenting!
I met some great friends in learning communities and I look forward to continuing the friendships throughout the next 4 years of college!

P.S. Sorry about this sudden load of five posts in a row! Haha I typed them all on MS Word earlier this evening, so I just proofread, copied and pasted them all at one time. But hope you all enjoyed =) Have a good weekend!
