Lois Owolabi Featured as Guest Performer at UIL Conference

Lois Owolabi, UIL Poetry Interpretation student, was invited to perform her new literary selections at this year’s UIL Student Activities Conference which took place at The University of Texas at Austin. This honor is only bestowed on students who have won a place as a state medalist the previous year.  As a state medalist, Lois received her invitation in July and gladly accepted.  Along with this prestigious honor, comes great work and responsibility because the performer has to select, organize, practice, and perform a brand new selection—this is even more difficult since UIL has changed its categories for this year.

Lois performed for an audience filled with prose and poetry judges, coaches, and students from around the state of Texas.  She performed a selection which focused on the tragedy of cancer but highlighted the courageousness and heroism of its victims.  This was an appropriate theme since we are in the midst of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a point well-made by Lois in her introduction and selections of poetry, and incorporated song lyrics.

Congratulations to Lois on her wonderful and notable accomplishment.  She continues to bring honor and pride to our school and community with her talent, leadership, and dedication.  Keep up the good work.
