Review


Greet People The Way You Want To Be Greeted by Santina McMillan is a very thoughtful and insightful piece. Not only does Santina understands the importance of greeting and its meaning to others, Santina recognizes that people in society want to be greeted with respect. Santina talks about how Santina was affected by a classmate, Hayley, a first grader who greeted Santina in first grade. Santina describes how positive that impact was and decides to pass on this act of kindness. According to Santina, "Power of greeting is not all about getting recognized. It's about building a kind and giving community."

Some things that Santina can do to improve this piece is to read it a bit slower and add a bit more emotion or music to the background to hook the audience's interest. In pacing yourself, you will be able to read it fluently and put a bit more feelings into the piece.

All in all, this wonderful piece reminds us all that we need to greet people with respect and kindness.
