MLK Convocation

I was expecting the convocation to be long and drawn out. It wasn't. I was expecting to be unimpressed with speaker. But I wasn't. I loved his presentation and his thoughts. Rather than discussing MLK the entire time, he spoke on the application of Dr. King's lessons into our lives no matter our color.

I did not, however, care for the dancers. It is not because they weren't good and not because they didn't have a message. But being a dancer, I could not appreciate their movement. They needed to work on cleaning it up and making it more concise with the rest of the group. The blue outfits looked nice on them though, and I could tell that they were passionate.

I thoroughly enjoyed the hymn sang at the end. His voice was beautiful, the song was moving, and his passion was contagious. This was my favorite part of the entire convocation.

All in all, I enjoyed this year's convocation much more than last years. A big thumbs up to the person who planned it.
