Second Sponsor Meeting

Yesterday I went to go see my sponsor again. When I got there, Mr. Barna, introduced me to a female worker named Kalya, and told me first thing to start writing about Prom. He gave me many ideas, in which I could write about, but he said that I'd be a better candidate to write about Proms because I'm going to one. He said that it'd be better because I'm experiencing high school now and I'd have a better perspective. I decided to write about Prom Weekend and what students do after prom. He told Kayla to give me a computer and help get me started on my new topic, and gave me a booklet of all the schools in the Gloucester County area. I was really excited because it was my first real meeting and I was already assigned a topic to write about. So, when I was seated at a computer, I got started right away, calling many high schools like Paulsboro, Woodbury, Kingsway, and Williamstown, and asked the secretaries when the proms were. It was kind of boring to say the least, but I guess in the long run it'll be worth it. Mr. Barna asked me to find that information out because he wanted a side column with all the schools' prom dates in it, so either way I'd have to do it. Some schools didn't even answer the phone and others had these confusing machines where I didn't understand which button to push. But it's okay, when I go back again next Tuesday, I'll finish what I started and possibly get started on interviewing fellow high school students who're planning on going down to Wildwood for Prom Weekend.
