Jamel is learning how to speak to audiences at the cobblestone

I'm learning how to speak clearly so people can understand every word that I am saying so that I can become a better speaker. To become a better speaker, I first have to learn to speak loudly and clearly and learn how to speak correctly to audiences. I must learn how to have a good attitude, like I am doing now. I am trying to have a good attitude by not yelling or getting upset. I'm learning how to better myself at the cobblestone.

A cobblestone student really feels the positivity at the cobbblestone

Cobblestone has been a great experience for me,personally. Since i started here in 2008 I have found myself surrounded by positive people and learning new things. I also enjoy the community outings we go on such as movies, mall walking, senior community performances, free concerts and lots more. We also do art, public speaking, dance and music. We also do performances based on different themes and we practice for weeks to prepare to put on the show. We take the dance steps and art projects and put them in the show.

Laurie loves public speaking and sharing her stories with her fellow students.

I enjoy telling stories to everybody. I don't have a story everyday but sometimes I do. Sometimes I make up my stories. I share my stories in music. Nate does announcements and sometimes I start my story. I like music the best because my grandpa used to play piano and I used to take piano lessons.
