Yesterday was fun but hot and humid day. The team i have is kool its Kendra, Justin,Nick,Kiara,Lucy,Italie and me. We went all over the world in the rain it was nasty. We got alot accomplished in just 6 hrs. It was nice to meet the new members they are funny and goofy sometimes but when it came down to it they did they had to do to get the job done.We split up some did harlem while others did the east village.

Now Kendra and I are getting everything together for the conclusion of the Hunt!!!

Gone Too Soon

This video was suppose to play at the BET tribute to MJ but Don Cornelious spoke to long... so wasn't able to be aired.... Tear jerker.




we ALL lost the Scavebger Hunt!!!!

OMG! When I first got here, I was rushed out to participate in the annual scavenger hunt. This was my first time unfortunately, although I've been apart of HL for 2 years but never did the scavenger hunt. It was crazy. I split my team up in 3 teams that surfaced entire NYC. Carlos and DD did everything in Harlem... Zinu and I did our part in Soho and Branday and Brittany did their part in Times Square. Nydera stayed at HL to complete everything in the office. It was a pretty good set up.

However, because of lateness, we were disqualified and lost. I think it was unfiar that Richae's team won because theyh came later than us. HOwever, when I asked Shelise how was the winner decided, she said based on punctuality. Richae's team came later than us, but because of circumstances, they won. Circumstances should not matter, because we had trials that prevented us from being on time. We didn't make excuses.

Secondly, I don't think it was okay that Richae and Kendra caught a ride with Kevin, who was one of the judges. But I mean, it's over. I just think that no one should have won if punctuality was a priority. Because techinally we all lost! Good experience tho....

scavenger

Today i was in a scavenger hunt on a larger scael and searched for stuff all over manhatten . we walk so much it was like walking through hell. we had gotten rain on like 3 times and we got lost twice.

ughhh hunt from hell

Today was definitely an adventure. Although kind of fun, it was quite tiresome. At some point I wish I wasn't even there but it taught me lot about my city. Certain areas I had never even seen before. Overall though it was pretty fun. I like the fact that we were given a task like this because it allowed us all to come together to accomplish a task that we all felt like taking a break from. At the end of the day however, we did what we had to do to the best of our abilities and completed our task, thanks HarlemLIVE.

The HUnt

Wow, that was a very LONNNNNNNNNNG scavenger hunt !!!!
At first when giselly gave my group the paper of all the things we need to accomplish today, i was thinking to my head 'OHH MY GODDD', i thought we were not going to get it done.
So, me and a team member Margarita went to 125th and was going to the restuarnants, Apollo Theater and MOREE, it was pouring outside and it was hard!
So, then me and Darcia was doing moree things, and my feet was killing me.
After that, me, Darcia and Margarita went downtown. It was such a looooongggggg ride on the train. we went to 14th street and walked to Astro PLace. it was such a journey today.

So by 6:30 my teamates and i got to HarlemLIVE and we were very relived.

This scavenger hunt was pretty fun !

MAN I CANT BELIEVE THAT MICHAEL JACKSON DIED. I THINK I WILL BE WATCHING HIS VIDEOS AND ALSO LISTENING TO HIS SONGS. I WILL TRULY MISS HIM. M.J IS THE KING OF POP. I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT AT ALL AS I WRITE I AM LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC. 

First Day Of The Summer Program

I just got in from my third day at Columbia's summer law institute. It's brilliant but it's hard work at the same time. The mornings usually start with a guest speaker, today's speaker being a defense attorney who's most recent work has been representing detainees at Guantanamo bay. His talk was kind of intense but incredibly interesting. The morning session is to do with "Criminal Justice theory and practice" with Mr Deets, then after lunch we delve further into the "Criminal Trails" aspect of the law with Mr Zarkovsky. Our coordinators are both law students at Columbia Law School. On Tuesday's we do workshops with Miss Mayani the intern, yesterdays was all about study skills. We'll be going on trips most Friday's, one of which will be to the United Nations HQ. I'm hoping to get into their college bound program which is great for getting scholarships and keeping your grades up in High School.

When I got in none of the summer students were here but they will be next week so I'm really looking forward to meeting them. I'm kind of mad that I won't be here more often in the first four weeks of summer but I'll try my best to earn tons of points for my team when I am here.

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HarlemLIVE, for the first day was actually enjoyable. The icebreakers were a success. Usually when i play those kind of games in a new environment the participants, don't want to participate, and that gets on my nerves. I hope to come back again and have a good time doing what i like to do

Ice Breaker

Today was my first day of actual work it was so fun i me a lot of new people that i never reallytalked to. We had ice breakers to get to meet the new people but i am happy that I got paid for meeting new people

Today at the park


Today at the park we did the ice breaker and got to met lot's of cool peole.
It was fun but i hated the animal activity.

marrrryyy =)

Yesterday, me and 3 other girls from HarlemLIVE went to 45th street to a women workshop and we met Mary. J Blige. It was very fun because we got to ask her questions and get to know her more
