FInal Reflection play

The project of creativity class called the Halloween party, was quite an experience for me. Luckily, I already had some experience in acting and presenting in front of people. Furthermore, stressful was not present. The interaction among students from different semester made the process more enjoyable. However, discovering that we had to present the play a second time was surprising. We were also promised to not have any term papers and we were lied to! I am glad I did it though.  I am a fun outgoing person who enjoys this kind of activities but what really hurt me was I felt that I was lied to. To finish, I got to show my talent make people laugh and help people learn English.
