Detroit State of Mind

   Despite the many unfortunate aspect of the motor city, I know a particular place the uplifts the city. They have great faith when it comes to the improvement and uplifting of the city. That place is Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences . This school not only educates young kids from all areas of Detroit but they allow many electives and sport to give students the opportunity to show there talents and express themselves through their work. I attended this school from kindergarten all the way 6th grade. I took many creative and performing arts cases, such as art, music , piano, choir, and dance. Anyway, my point in writing this blog is to acknowledge a positive aspect of the city that seems to make Detroit citizens fairly happy is the success and potential stored within this school. over the past year the DAAS choir has had many accomplishments. one of those accomplishments were  that the choir got a chance to perform disney world last year. Since my little cousin was a part of this i got me and my brothers got the chance go and watch her perform. Last year, Ellen DeGeneres surprised them with  a Skype call and actually paid for them to perform at disney world. She also featured then in her season 12 promo. the last but not least thing that makes me so proud of DAAS is the Detroit State Of mind video. This was made a year after I left was extremely happy to see my former choir members do something so huge.
