Union College- Study circles

Yesterday, I went to Union College with a select few kids from my school. High schools all over schenectady county attended as well. We had numbers on our name tags and the number was the group we were going to be with. At first, we watched a video on Rosa Parks, I really enjoyed that. It brought chills to my body. The study circles I was in was excellant. The kids were very different but we learned that a lot of us had a lot in common. We did numerous activites to get everyone to know each other. The topic was racism, we discussed on going racism and our thoughts about how the obama election is going. I met a lot of new people and people I'd probably never be around but it was interesting. I will be going back next tuesday with the same group of kids to discuss another topic. This was a great experience.
