At the Youth Services Center (YSC), the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) interns had a chance to express what was on their minds. The workshop - What is on your mind? - gave the interns an opportunity to say what they felt like they needed to say, whether it was directed to someone, just needing to express themselves, or just having someone there to listen. They were all ears to see what one another had to say. As an example, one of the SYEP interns brought up a song called 'Successful,' that is performed by a new rapper named Drake featuring Trey Songz. This example helped the rest of the interns express what they thought of what "being successful" meant to them.
This conversation also helped to open up other topics like College. The topic gave the interns reasons why college is important, and what a bachelors degree can do for your life.This gave the interns a different prespective on what college is truly about.
Another topic of discussion was 'a look into the hearts of the interns'. This topic was very deep and endearing. This exercise made the interns realize that they can be comfortable with one another, and can confide in each other if they had an issue they needed to share.
In the end, the interns walked away having learned more about each other and themselves from this session.
