This afternoon I was tremendously blessed and fortunate to have the opportunity through professional colleagues (who happen to be friends as well) to be a #judge for my region’s semifinals of #poetryoutloud.
.
Big shout out to @sparkshighschool for hosting the enriching event! Thank you again to @mjubando and @renokate for providing me specifically with the opportunity! Thank you to @sylvia_stephens for allowing me to be her Judge partner!
.
It was marvelous to see and hear the participating students face their fears of public speaking for the sake of competing in this worthwhile nationwide event. I hung on your every word, and I was glad for it.
.
Best of luck and break legs to all of those who earned a trip to the finals!
