The day of my concert I was nervous and definitely excited. Because I knew it was a small group of people, I wasn't all that worried about if I messed up. However, I was worried that I would get a non-responsive audience. Those are the hardest to play for. Some of my classmates made jokes like "Watch out, they might kill you!" or "If anything happens, stab them with your bow!" Those comments annoyed me. These people in prison deserve our respect. Saying they'll kill you is first of all so ridiculous because they have no weapons and I'll be escorted at all times and secondly, it's not very empathetic. A lot of these people will get back into society after they've served their time. Yes, the inmates made a mistake, but hardly any of them are crazed killers. My dad picked me up after school, and we began the drive to Clinton County.
