By Lasha, MaST Community Charter School Healthy Panther Post | My favorite thing about what we did with Mary is how we got to work together with our friends, have fun and enjoy ourselves while also learning and doing what we were supposed to do. A mistake that I learned from Mary is how making fun of someone for something they can’t change isn’t humor and it is taking it too far. Humor should be something we laugh at and not what we get ashamed for.

Editor’s note: Seventh-grade reporters reflected on their experience of interviewing Mary Carpenter, executive director at ComedySportz in Philadelphia, and participating in two improvisation activities.
