BITS

Hi, my name is La'Shay but you can call me Shay for short! It's my first time doing this program and I like it so far. In the beginning, we all had to meet our peers that would later become our partners and some, our friends. The first week we had a debate that was very fun and exciting. The debate was about the fire in Chester called "Beyond The Flames". The role that I played in the debate was the chief/firefighters. We were basically arguing with other groups(citizens, mayor,nurses,and the company)to find out whose fault it was for the people who lost their lives in the fire. At the end, we all blamed the Mayor & The company. L0L it was crazy!!!!But all in reality, no one knew who was to be blamed. It's a new and fun experience for me!

SMART Goals

A SMART goal is away to realize if a goal is well, smart. Is my goal Specific? Is my goal Measurable? What will my Action be? Is my goal Realistic? Does my goal have a Time frame?

My summer goal is to finish the application/applying process to The Art Institute of Philadelphia. My goal is specific because it is exact. It's measurable because I can manage it. I am taking action on my own to accomplish it. it is realistic because it is possible. It is possible for me to accomplish this before the end of the summer.

My long term goal is to become a film maker and performer by the time I'm 25. It's measurable because i can manage it. I'm taking action by applying for the film program at The Art Institute of Philadelphia. It's realistic because I'm taking the other steps and it's possible. It's timely because seven years should be long enough to accomplish my goals.

My name is khalia and this is my first year at this summer program and by me begin here had me look different on life. The one of ma favorite we had did was the chester fire and how things was back then and plus it was something new to me that i had learned. I love how we all work together to debate back and forward like lawyers and its a good program to be in.

Mini Mock Trial

On July 14 my group and I did a mini mock trial that was based on a young female going to trial for cheating on her test. I believe what was said in the scrip was dumb, because she basically told on herself that she did cheat. But anyway I was on the defender side and we had to defend the school that suspended her for cheated. Of coarse we lose the case but over all I just through it was a fun trial to do, and I loved it.

Getting Started

We are in week two of Work Ready. I was in this program last year. A lot has changed since then, for example there is way more people than last year. The mock trial is very informational and explains some of the situations involved in the legal system. So far we have read about a case called"Beyond The Flame". Our group is excited and cannot until we present the mock trial. The mentors in our group are very helpful. Everyday they are getting us prepared for the mock trial. To sum it all up this has been a good summer job so far.

Mini Mock Trial

The first mini mock trial we had was interesting and fun. As a lawyer, I was able to question witnesses, along with my colleagues, and persuade the jury to find in favor of the plaintiff. I can't wait for the big mock trial.
