Charater Contest Dramatizations

Although my heart was pounding all throughout, the character contest dramatizations were a lot of fun. With the short amount of time we had, I felt everyone was really good and creative. Better yet, the discussions afterward were very helpful because, honestly, I found these "character contests" very difficult to understand. I now realize that they exist in everyday life and I am encountering them more and more with the people around me. For example, I fight with my 13-year-old brother all the time about whose turn it is to wash the dishes. I am older, go to school and work so I feel he should at least take care of the sink since he does not have as much responsibility as I do. But he thinks I should do it because I am the girl. None of us ever really wins because my dad steps in and makes him do half and I do the other half. I am glad because I get pretty competitive and can not deal with losing especially to my much younger brother and over silly dishes.
