Frank Warren of Post Secrets
Frank Warren of Post Secrets came to Utah Sate and talked about the success of Post Secrets. Who would have thought that from such a small intriguing idea, Warren would have what he has today with his Blog. I was surprised by the secrets that many people have sent to Warren. I thought his presentation was intriguing, interesting and fantastic.
I had mixed emotion as to how I felt about the post secrets that were talked about. Some where humorous, others were so serious I didn’t know how to react. It is easy to see why Warren is looking toward suicide prevention with his idea. I think all people have skeletons in their closets and through post secret they are able to let them out and by doing so they feel better about their lives and what has happened in the past and then this gives them a way to deal with it in the future. I have heard of Frank Warren before but never really looked into post secrets until now. I truly am amazed at the things people send to him. It is like people give Warren this privileged peak in their life, like he is invisible and he is privileged that they trust him with that. He may be the most trusted person in America when it comes to people telling him their secrets. I really think what is happening with this project is amazing

Poetry reading on USU Campus
Alicia Ostriker read from her book of poems on Tuesday, April 2 to USU students. The poems were great and I am glad to know I was in support of the Department of English, and their speakers. Ostriker has been nominated twice for National Book Awards. I thought the reading was interesting because this was the first time I have attended a reading like this. I have heard of them but never been to one until now. I was impressed with the content of Ostrikers poems. It opened my mind to different ideas and helped me think and look at things in a different way. I was impressed by Ostrikers work and would be interested in reading the books which she has written. I believe she has written eleven different volumes of poetry and I am sure, from what I observed that each volume is worth reading.

Utah State University holds Luau on Campus
The Voyage was great and very entertaining. One of the biggest things that stood out to me while I watched this performance was the passion the Polynesian dancers have as they perform, there must have been a lot of preparation put into this performance because it was put together very well. Every participant in the Luau performed with passion and the dancers moved together wonderfully. The choreography seems so unique and was very captivating as well. I couldn’t help but find this performance to be unique, neat, and fascinating. Some performers told stories about their people and the islands. Many of the dances told stories of the Polynesian culture as well and I think it was so neat to fallow each unique dance as it told a story about the islands and the people.
USU Ballroom Dance
When a dance is choreographed well with a great music choice to back it up, it sends chills down my spine. I had the opportunity to observe the USU Ballroom Dance team and they performed very well. I do like dance and have a great respect for those who are able to dance so easily. There is no question that USU Ballroom dance is a great organization and I want it to succeed. The students who performed are much better dancers than I will ever be. I am also glad the students who participate in it have such dedication to their dance and organization.
