What do you know now that you didn't know in September?

Dear Future WISE Student,

Every step i've taken throughout the course of WISE has changed my characted. Not to be cliche but it really boosted up my self confidence. I learned how to DJ. From the very beginning, i wasn't able to speak into a microphone either on the radio or at an event. After my first even I was told how confident i actually sounded on the mic (the whole time i thought i sounded broken and scared.) Right then I just felt so much better. After that things just kind of took off. I "learned" (through practice) to speak live on the radio. My confidence then transferred to the music I'd play at dances- I was no longed nervous about people's opinions.

I learned a lot about how to simply DJ, but also about myself and my peers. DJing for them was always eventful. It is not clearer to me what certain groups expect to hear when they go to a certain event. I learned how to deal with people in the best ways possible specific to each situation. I'm now more outspoken and lively, as well as realistic. WISE brought me down to Earth, it literally made me wiser.
