Assembly held at CHS

     Devin Hughes, a motivational speaker, author, and former basketball player, came to visit Chadron High School kids, where he taught and spoke about anti-bullying on Friday February 12.
     Hughes, grew up in a society where he felt isolated and confused by his identity due to his black father and white mother. This made him fight for a bright future. After years of hard work, he now speaks at schools, universities, corporations, associations, and organizations that helps others thrive.
     Last week was anti-bullying week and the CHS and CMS students were lucky to have Devin Hughes who talked about spreading happiness and how to prevent bullying. Although anti-bullying was supposed to be the main topic, other students thought it wasn't.
     Isabella Sanchez, sophomore said, "He talked more about happiness than bullying." He was a good, energetic speaker, but "wasn't focused on one thing," said ELL teacher, Mrs. Welch. She wished he would have focused a little bit more on the high school students and had a theme.
     Although the assembly wasn't what students excepted, there were some things they liked about it. Edna Galey, sophomore, and Isabella liked the different things they had to do with their neighbors. They thought it was fun and enjoyable.
    Even thought the assembly speaker wasn't very relevant to the topic anti-bullying, students still want speakers that'll talk about relevant materials that students will find inspiring.
