Second Life Skit: “New Beginnings” Julianna, Nat, Ryan and Jillian LGS Seminar

// All four of our avatars outside of school with three new students //
 * Julianna: ** Welcome to our school, New Beginnings Academy! Here we are going to teach you about some great organizations that you might not have been aware of. Our goal as teachers is to help underprivileged children with their education and keep them busy after school. We will give you a tour of our school and the tennis courts as well! My name is Julianna, and these are my co-workers Nat, Ryan and Jillian. We hope you enjoy your tour.
 * Ryan: ** As we give you a tour of the academy, we will explain each of our roles in this facility- where new beginnings start with an education.
 * Nat: ** Let’s go!
 * Jillian: ** Follow us!

 * Jillian: ** Hey guys, I’m Jillian. Welcome to the Girls For Change class! Whether you’re a girl or boy, this organization is important to know about. This organization teaches leadership skills to girls at a young age and motivates them to make a difference. Even if you’re not a girl, this cause is definitely worth knowing about. It helps shape the leaders of tomorrow and promotes equality. Any questions?
 * Student 1: ** How did you learn about this cause?
 * Jillian: ** Growing up, I was raised by matriarchal family. I was raised in an environment with strong female empowerment. I learned about independence and that being the primary caregiver isn’t the only job women should have. We have the power to make a difference and with an education we have the ability to achieve the same as boys. Boys should care about this organization as well because they need to learn that girls are as equal. With both girls and boys aware of this, we can shape a future where gender equality is fully known and accepted.
 * Students 2 and 3: ** How can we get involved?
 * Jillian: ** If you take the class, you will learn to be more accepting of others for one. Teaching children tolerance and equality between genders will start the new generation off with more open minds. With that more children will have more opportunities. To get directly involved with Girls For a Change, check out girlsforachange.org. Now let’s go say hello to Nat!
 * Nat: ** Welcome students to my classroom. In this course, you will learn about the effects of promoting education to children who live in poor environments. Education is the essence of freedom, and it leads to may doors and opportunities for all. Giving a great education to these kids can help them get out of poverty and help benefit themselves and their communities as well.
 * Student 1: ** How can we help as students and beyond our education?
 * Nat: ** Good question, the number 1 thing most students like you can help is awareness. Promoting awareness to the population helps give motivation for more teachers to go abroad and help teach in these environments, and helps motivate people to donate for these programs.
