Senior Assignment - Noche de Recuerdos due Thursday, April 7th

 Seniors, as the end of the year approaches I hope you have started to reflect upon your growth and development as performers and individuals throughout your high school careers.  Each of you has a unique story to share and my goal for our upcoming Noche de Recuerdos production is for yours to be heard.  This assignment has no page length requirement, no strict rubric, and no boundaries.  

Instead, I would like to to reflect upon the last four years of your life and tell me your story.  To help begin the process, here are some questions you might consider answering:
  • Who was I four years ago?  Who did I think I would be today? Who am I today?
  • What is the best memory you've shared with friends or family during your high school years?
  • How have your teachers, peers, friends, and experiences during high school impacted your personal goals & aspirations for the future?
  • What were your reservations or anxieties coming into high school?  Did they become a reality?  
  • If you had to choose only one, what would you consider to be your biggest triumph or success during high school?
  • What are your plans post-graduation?  Why?
  • How did you conquer your a difficult situation you've experienced?  What helped you through it?  How did it help you grow as an individual?
Though I would like this to be a free writing about your personal experience at school and in the real world, I would also like you to address the impact that being a part of Los Tucsonenses has had on your life.  Did it help you to grow as a dancer? Develop new friendships? Provide you the opportunity to experience new things? Teach you new ways to overcome stressful situations? Help you to stay connected to your cultural roots or learn about one different than you own? Or simply help you blow off steam?

Please do complete this writing in complete sentences --- the goal is to use this as material to build a script for our April 27th production and add quotes to our programs and slideshow presentations.  I would also like to post small excerpts from your writings to Facebook and highlight you as seniors in our program.

Any pictures or videos you have of you and your friends (both in and out of folklorico) would be greatly appreciated.  Please get these to Bruno via flash drive or email ASAP.  

This writing assignment is due by Thursday, April 7th.  If the reflection does not properly paste below, please email the assignment in to bruno.loya@tusd1.org

MAKE-UP WORK due no later than 7 days from the missed day
