This is our first post from The BIG LIVE, and surely it is an exciting one! 2014 has kicked off great for the The BIG LIVE and there is so much that will be shared on this blog page! On Wednesday January 29th, The Big Live returned to MS 202 after a 2 week hiatus due to the snow. "OOOOHHH!!!" shouted Pierry Benjamin, in the bright walled auditorium. Immediately the 400+ 7th grade students responded shouting back, "KILLEM!!!" A chant Pierry has used with the students after his Week 1 presentation, which featured young social media icon, Terio. It was evident from this response that the students missed The BIG LIVE just as much as the program missed them. Pierry had three special guests, and wasted no time introducing them to the students. The first guest was Jeff Lindor. Lindor, a community leader/political consultant, referred to himself as "Mr.Community." Rightfully so, he explained to the students how he grew up, and he is now the voice of the community just as they can be one day. "You can be anything you want" said Lindor. This phrase is constantly mentioned to the youth, but Lindor added his own special marketing touch. "If there is something you want to do and it's not out there, create it yourself." A special and different outlook to encourage the students. As Lindor left the stage, Pierry returned to introduced the next guest. What made this next guest suitable for the occasion is that he was evidence of what Lindor spoke about. Dwayne Bucknor, an anesthesiologist by day and event planner by night, was a great segway from Lindor. Bucknor explained to the students his hard work to become an anesthesiologist, and the excitement that comes along with a day's work, but that was only the precursor to his exciting second job. Bucknor works alongside with a group of promoters, that hosts many events. After naming a few celebrities the students were hooked, but Bucknor reminded them that he once sat in the same desks as the students. Eluding to the fact that they too one day can do as he. As the guests walked off stage it couldn't end without DJ Physics playing a tune to introduce the biggest guest of them all. The BIG LIVE's most important intern, THE BIG LIVE LION, graced the stage and the students went bananas. There was no better way to end the afternoon, and unfortunately The BIG LIVE had to depart. MS 202 The BIG LIVE is appreciative of the opportunity, and look forward to to returning soon. Until our next post The BIG LIVE says OOOOOHHHHH!!!
