Addressing an auditorium of high school seniors is no easy task.
I know this because I barely have what it takes to stand in front of 20 odd people in my photography classes.
My dear friend Mary Pope made it look easy as she addressed two groups of seniors inside Riverside’s Poly High school’s Arthur Littleworth Theater this morning.
She established audience participation quite effortlessly by suggesting everyone stand.
Then she asked everyone present to offer this greeting to their neighbor to the front and behind: “Peace Be With You”
Mary is new to this but she embraces her nervousness so well that her wonderful upbeat personality takes over.
