Audience at diversity
assembly
To the Diversity club members is an important thing to know
what the audience thought about this new perspective assembly that when more
than what the audience was expecting it to be.
“Diversity to me is whenever you have a lot within a
different backgrounds and stuff, different cultures and you put them together
so they can blend their different cultures and what do they do, not only having different ethnics, different
food or how they do things and they look
like and act” I was and the expecting the assembly to be kind of like last
year, like different countries to walk up and just have a picture from the
flag, and a few performances from their culture but after it really open my
eyes because people is so different and
we don’t ever take the time to knows that, so I really thought going into it,
will give me a good stuff to learn from” Braydon Grone CHS Student. “I would like to hang out with
this student and be around with their families just to be able to interact to
different environment that I am used to because
I am being able to do that and it’s a completely different experience”
“When we went into the diversity assembly I was just expecting
it to be similar to years past and I think a lot of the students will agree
with this, so just basically a breath representation of the students representing
other countries who attend to central and to identify the country and to see
the people from there, but it was a lot different and more detail than that”
Quinlan Pulleyking Said. “Diversity to me is thru Central and how at the school
we have so much diversity are a really big community and I really like going to
Central for that reason”
“Diversity is people of all different races, colors and
beliefs coming together as one and acting similar to be friends” “I really liked how many different countries
were there and lots of different aspects
from different cultures, it was more fun than what I was expecting , the
other assemblies are boring , but this one was fun, I would really like to talk
to them and learn from their cultures and just what they do during their free
times and be able to learn how they act and how they come to be part of this
cultures “ Parker Mauzey CHS Student.
Diversity as a Topic
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration
of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.
“Diversity is people from different background coming together to share their experiences and how they do stuff together” Mrs. Feldman ‘I think the assembly it was amazing the kids that were involved in the assembly did amazing, they were really bright to be up there, because I know is hard sometimes to be different when you in high school, and be up there and show their cultures”. “I am very proud of all of them and I think is so neat that I have the opportunity to know a lot of them” Mrs. Feldman said.
“I decided to be part of the assembly because my friends were there and I asked myself, why am I not there? That is why I decided to be part of it” Esmeralda ESL student said. When asking what your favorite part from the assembly was, “OMG I can’t really tell, everything was perfect putting together, I just like everything, all the performances and how they put a lot of work into it, it was just great”.
“I wanted to be part of the assembly because I wanted to show the school my nation and where I came from and just feel how is to be on the stage in front of everybody” Karla said ESL student.
“When they student started preparing the assembly I did not want to be part of the assembly because in some school there is discrimination when talking about diversity, but here I feel good and at safe place, It makes me feel special, to be part of the assembly it means to represent my country” “we all were very good and did a great job, we hard very hard for this and the audience liked and is how we know we did a good job, they were having fun as we were when we were performing” Cesia Pena said, ESL Student.
To have a place to show the cultures it means a lot to the ESL Student it not only to show the school their traditions or where are they from it makes them feel at a safe place.

ELS Talents
This year the diversity assembly was conformed by a new bunch
of new talents. One of the talents was the signing part. Students from Burma singed
in Burmese chin, were two of the students were singing a song that they learned
from their church they decided to perform this for the assembly to show the
school some of the activities that they do out of the school and also to promote
their culture. They were feeling nervous
for the performance and they wanted the performance to be as best as they can,
they practiced for three days and they were practicing by their own until, they
get together for the duo part, the singing was accomplish with a guitar instrumental
playing by the student Ram Lian, and they voices were interpreted by Siang Mang
and Bawi Sung. The audience was impressed with the big performance that they came
with, it was amazing everyone was craping to them so hard, and we could feel
how deep the interpretation was. Other talent that was involve, was the dancing
part, we had a traditional Asian dance were students from different backgrounds
involve in the same routine. Being from one nation it does not describe how you
look like or how people acts. We also had a student from India who decided to
be involved with assembly dancing a traditional dance from India, it was one of
the favorites performance, with her positive attitude, smiling and a good transmitting
of the song she perform a great routine. They assembly was closing a another Latin
Dance performed by two student, one from Mexico and other from Poland, they
present a song specialist on merengue style, who made some of the students
cheer for them, all the student who had the opportunity to be part of this
assembly have a different backgrounds and different traditions, all of them
wanted to be part of the event to show the school their talents, but the most
important reason was to let the people know their country, because some the
students came from some countries that some of our students do not know pretty
well, so this event bring an opportunity to them to became known to the world
and the school.

Foreign Exchange
Students were part of the Diversity Assembly
The Central Diversity Assembly has change in a lot different
ways this year. This year the central diversity club had involved the ELS
student as a part of the assembly and also some of the foreign exchange
student, one of them who wanted to be part of this event was Koral Saeed that
is a student from Israel and came to spend this year and the United States to
share some of their experiences with American students and also to learn some
the other cultures that are in Central. She decided to share her culture
reciting a poem that talks about conflict between Arabs and Jewish and what
happens between them, “There is something between them and they should love
each other because we are all the children’s of God Arabs in Israel are
consider red Palestinians, but Palestine does not exist on the map because is
what we know as Israel today”, Saeed said. The poem was more deep than what was
expecting to be, it was represented by Koral Saeed and Alicia Rodriguez they
both are senior here in Central High School, one fun fact about this it was
that there is not an actual writing down of this poem so, they had to look it
up on YouTube and wrote it down by themselves.
What makes this interesting is how they were interpreting it
in front of everyone; we saw how they were dressed with traditional clothes,
which made more interesting to watch and to be part of the audience. They had
to practice for at least two weeks to make this performance as best as it could
be, they had to stay after school, and get some time together, one of the
hardest things to do it was to make one the parts of the poem where they both
had to talk at the same time, so they had to practice, over and over to have
that part down and get it ready for the assembly it took them a lot of time to
get perfect down, but as we saw in the assembly, Central High School have a
diversity students, all of them have something unique to share with the others
students, all the time trying to teach a good idea of peace on the world, and
that when the world is together we all make something amazing.

Diversity Assembly
Central High School had a Diversity assembly on February 26th
2015, that took place at Central High School Auditorium, where all the student
were ready to watch this not new but unique assembly, where 42 different
countries where represented on the student event, as every year the assembly
showed some of the talents that the ESL student here in Central have, this year
the audience saw a lot of the same stuff but a lot of new talents. This year
the assembly had a lot of new stuff, they started by having a flag ceremony
where each flag was hold by on designed student, but the fun fact was that the
students were not holding their owns flags, which means that having a
nationality does not represent your culture and that we are all the same, this
was complementary with the “Kilties” playing in the background during the
presentation of the flags where some of the ELL students were holding the flags
when at the same time were doing some moves while the music was playing. The
orchestra played the national Anthem when the American Flag was center of this
event. The assembly started with a videos called “to be honest” in which some
students that were involves on the assembly had to tell which has been some of
the problems that they have seem when the moved here, also what are some of the
most differences between their nation and the U.S. The diversity assembly was
commentary by some poems being recited on their home languages, traditional
dances , such Latin dances as Merengue, salsa, also some from India , and of
course Asia was part from the event, we had a dance called Bamboo dance in
which a lot of countries together make this routine, we had students from Philippines, Mexico, Honduras, India. We don’t
have any questions about this students we have seem that when they get together
and decide to do something together they make it better, and a really awesome
job. “I was happy for the job that the diversity club got, and we saw it at the
end with the standing innovation” Bruner said. The assembly closed the show
with a different style of presented the countries a different of this year was
a power point in which the student from each country were an special place of
the building with their flag and show some pictures from their countries.
