Can I
have three cheers for the Herndon Writing Center? HIP, HIP HOORAY! Yesterday,
the Herndon Writing Center successfully concluded their first ever party! Why
the celebration? The National Day on Writing, of course! It was the Writing Center’s
obligation to celebrate this wonderful holiday, and we celebrated in style. We
had students write a haiku, turn it in, and then they got a piece of cake. Simple
enough, I know. Before I keep rambling about how awesome the Herndon
Writing Center is, let me give you a quick summary on how it all went down.

First,
all of the tutors showed up to the writing center to pass out cake and collect
haikus. The beginning of it all was a little rough because we were totally
mobbed, but we persevered through teamwork. I guess bringing cake
table-to-table became a little too tedious for the tutors, so they just started
an assembly line. It’s amazing to see what people can do when they work
together. As students filed in through the small door, Lennon, our “bouncer,”
collected their haikus. We even got a haiku on a banana! Crazy, right?

As the
cake left, more haikus came in! By the end of just 13 short minutes, we had a
whopping 107 haikus from 97 students and teachers! That’s so cool!

A very big thank you to everyone that showed up and submitted a haiku! The HWC looks forward to making this an annual thing! Look out for any other parties we have and sign up for a tutoring session with one of our SUPER cool tutors!
