For my freshman seminar class, each student had to do something for the community as part of a mid-term project. After days of racking my brain for a project idea at least somewhat interesting, I had a light bulb moment. I decided I wanted to give a concert for women at the Clinton County Correctional Facility as a way for the isolated women living in our community to connect with music and get the emotional experience that has benefited me in so many ways! A lot of people think of prisoners as hard, terrible, crazy animals. I'll admit it, I did at one point too. However, that is not the case. These prisoners are people who have family, friends, feelings, a future, and dreams just like you or me. To get ready for my recital, I'll need to prepare and practice my concert pieces. I'll know I'm done after my 45-60 minute concert is over. My parents and the Deputy Warden Jackie Motter will help me put this plan into action!
