College-Bound -- Session 2 -- Center Valley -- Day 1, August 2nd

Today was a fantastic first day at the College Bound Writing Camp. We were greeted with a unique questionnaire to make our minds work. To loosen everyone up, we took a stroll outside where we “got down with our bad selves” and had some fun dancing and learning everyone’s names. We did a few more “group activities” before heading back inside. We circled up and shared some of our answers to the survey to further getting to know everyone and how they thought. After break, we read two articles, the second being a poem to ready us for our final activity. Both works made us reflect on our lives, and where we had come from. The day ended with some independent writing time, where we were able to either work on a poem about where we came from, or another piece we’d had our sights set on. All in all, our first day has totally left us excitedly anticipating the next two weeks to come!
