Antione's Class

Yesterday, a journalist named Antione who taught a class at Harlem Live about interviewing with little time and then to write a story on the information that you have. He gave us a choice to either stay inside and pair up and talk to a partner then ask questions but find one or more stories in these question your asking them to later write a story about it. The other choice was to go out on the street and do the same but with a stranger. Since everyone and their mother was acting like a chicken and wanted to stay inside, ME being who I am decided to take a risk and take on the challenge of going outside, talking to a random stranger, and finding out enough information on a topic to write a story about. We had ten minutes to be outside and interview and then we had to come back. After about five minutes I had my story and I didn't even have to walk far for it. So LUCKY ME. It was weird talking to these two strangers but I was happy they let me talk to them to get my story.
