Going to see the performances at the open mic was different because I did not know what to expect. I have never attended an open mic before and I just expected students to sing or show a talent. I was gladly surprised when I saw such a variation of performances.

There were performers that made me feeI that this meant a lot to them, and they had such passion in their voice when they spoke or sang. I loved the Robo-cop performance because it was different and it drew my attention without ever making me think any of it was boring. Although the words had a powerful message, the performance and the form in which was delivered made it a jaw-dropping act. I knew something was great when I would feel goosebumps crawling up my arms and down my back. I loved that feeling, and especially how all the performers supported each other when they performed and it was interesting to watch how they had such an amazing connection with each other. Especially if some of the performances had negative feelings, like when the girl read her poem about her insecurities, the next performer told her that she was beautiful and amazing. It was a very touching moment to see that a stranger would do that because in N.Y.C we see many people with the mentality that is self-centered and all about them. I was also really happy to see an alumni come in to perform, it touched my heart to see someone come in and actually still be part of the college even though they graduated many years ago.  It was a moving and touching experience.

Brooklyn College has so a ton of diversely talented students. I hope to see open mic grow and other alumni come in to perform.
