It is a time to get
nervous. Sometimes it is a time to be self conscious. Or even flustered. but
one thing for sure, for students participating in Gamma Pi chapter's Project ENRICH essay program, it was a time to get valuable experience addressing an
audience. The most recent essay program was held Saturday morning, April 18, at
Bowie State University
The annual essay program is
part of the yearlong curriculum that the chapter executes during monthly
Saturday sessions for high school students at
Freshmen: Describe or
refute the statement: "Technology is good for modern culture.
Sophomores: What is your life goal and how will you
accomplish it
Juniors: Describe your greatest achievement
how you felt about your pursuit of a college education.
It was not just about the
speeches. It was also about each student's story. One young man wanted to
become a veterinarian. Another one waned to enter the Information Technology
field. Another student expressed interest in pursuing anesthesiology and one
particularly eloquent young man gave a powerful personal testimony of how he
recently converted his interest from international relations (after hearing
Bro. Teddy Taylor’s presentation to Project ENRICH over a year ago) to a career
as a religious foreign missionary.
More than a dozen students
representing all four classes (freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors) gave
their presentations Saturday to parents, fellow students and Brothers of Gamma
Pi who were gathered in the auditorium. Each student received constructive feedback
from a panel of Gamma Pi judges including Director Bro. Willie Hines, and
Brothers Lucian Cox, Marc Ellington and Reginald Thomas.
The essay program has long been one of the biggest priorities of Project ENRICH director Bro. Hines, who
views public speaking as a major ingredient in students’ confidence and overall
communications ability.
Project ENRICH will hold its closing program on May 30.
