I guess one of the organizers for the event had a friend at the college of law, because the event I went to had nothing to do with law or the college. There is a lovely space on the 6th floor that has a large outdoor garden and terrace. Our event was great, but what really made it a fun evening was the space. The garden outside (sorry no photos) has a variety of places to sit and stand. There are potted plants, benches, and it wraps around the building. From the terrace you can see the Toyota Center, and it looks out toward Discovery Green even though you can't see the green itself. You can also see off to EaDo and parts of downtown. If I was given the chance, I would definitely go to or host an event there again. Anywhere with an open rooftop terrace downtown is a winner in my book, especially on a cool breezy February evening!

Can you really claim that a law school is a business?…read more I guess I'll go with the flow then. It is the oldest law school in Houston and the third oldest (est. 1923) in all of Texas; that's a pretty big feat (everything's bigger in...oh you know) considering the size of this State. South Texas College of Law was one of my top choices of law schools to attend. I had participated in an orientation for prospective students a few months before applying and fell in love with the facilities that this school provided. Their library is extensive, their decor is aesthetically pleasing, and they boast state of the art facilities. First off, the law school is separated into two buildings, the tower and the library. The tower houses all the classrooms and Professor offices; the library portion houses, well, the library and study rooms. I'll start with what makes/breaks the tower side. First off, the rooms are considerably advanced as far as technology. They have flat screen televisions and computers as well as a plug for laptops at each chair in the room. The one negative about the classrooms is that the wireless, for some reason, does not reach for the majority of classrooms. This could be looked as a positive, though, for those who find internet a distraction. The library is a great place, though...at least when you're not having to study. The wireless reaches on every level (once you actually figure out how to get it working) and the study rooms provide a substantial hiding place for extensive studies; most everyone is accommodating to the need for quiet. Each floor of the library has around nine tables complete with lamps that have ethernet plugs and power outlets built into them; the chairs aren't too shabby for comfort either. I love the fact that each floor has walls of windows that look out to the Toyota Center and the hustle & bustle below; this blows other schools out of the water when it comes to libraries (*cough* Rice *cough*, sorry but your library is claustrophobic). The public is allowed to use our library with a valid ID shown to the front desk security. One of my favorite spots in the school is the patio on the roof of the library. It is an amazing place to relax and take in the wonderful weather afforded us every once in awhile in Texas; sometimes you can even find someone talking about topics other than the upcoming finals or law school in general (that is always a relief, who wants to talk about law school while we're standing on top of the law school?) The staff is always willing to work with you on anything you need. They all seem to support you and push to give you everything necessary for a positive atmosphere; Lord knows we law school kids need it! During each finals period the school provides a masseuse that sits in the foyer and gives massages by appointment. The thing that had drawn me to this school is the fact that every lawyer I talk to tells me South Texas not only teaches you the law but it is the only school that teaches you how to be a lawyer. Case in point, the Moot Court team is #1 in the nation with over 100 wins (even over Harvard). If you're going to have to put yourself through hell (a.k.a law school in general) then you might as well attend a school you actually enjoy being in.

School of Rock Pearland deserves every bit of recognition it gets, especially for its Adult…read moreProgram. When I walked through the doors in 2022, I could barely form clean first-fret chords and didn't even know what a power chord was. Three years later, I was performing songs like "Sad But True" by Metallica and "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains--and doing it confidently. The reason is simple: the instructors are exceptional. Cameron and George are phenomenal guitar teachers--true technicians who understand how to build musicians from the ground up. They're patient, focused, and know exactly how to push you toward real progress. Jessica and Aaron, despite being young, are seasoned professionals when it comes to directing. Their musicianship is extraordinary, and they lead by example. You don't just learn from them--you rise to the standard they set. I give special credit to Trevor, the owner. He's a talented multi-instrumentalist who has built a culture that's serious about musicianship while keeping the environment fun and inspiring. His Pearland and Memorial locations both feel like real studios: pro gear, great lighting, clean design, and an atmosphere that tells you, "You belong here." I entered as a total beginner. I left as a House Band member. If you're an adult wanting to learn guitar, drums, bass, keys, or vocals--and you want a program that challenges you the way a skilled trainer pushes you in the gym--this is the place. School of Rock Pearland doesn't just teach you music; it transforms you into a musician.

My daughter took piano at another location, because that's what mommy dearest wanted her to learn. I stopped projecting my hopes and dreams on to her, and have let her do whatever the heck she wants. Now she is trying her hands at the drums. What makes Pearland so much better? 1. Although there is some Merch for sale, it's not a store front. 2. There's plenty of sitting for us parents so controlling we can't seem to drop them off. 3. The cameras in every lesson room, and TV screen I can watch her every move. Stalker mom. 4. All the Instagramable murals. 5. The kids hang out club room. Foosball included! 6. Group lessons, besides her private lessons. She's part of a band! 7. The email progress notes from the instructor after lessons. I like knowing what she did. I must add being the new kid is hard, especially in group settings, I really appreciate how much the owner Trevor took with my daughter on her first day making her comfortable. She jumped right in singing on her first day. Will is a great instructor, well they all are she's already had the pleasure of getting direction from a few if not all. Sky is a lovely, sweet, young woman taking care of administrative duties. Taking payments, explaining deals, lessons available, being the sales woman, and enforcing the Covid-19 protocols. Definitely worth it, and you have nothing to lose first lesson is free! Tell them Elaina sent you. #sportysassylana

Ms. Audrey Nelson, the president and director, is very dedicated to her mission of educating kids and helping them attain their academic goals. She always greets us with enthusiasm and is very receptive to ideas in helping the center grow. I'm a big proponent of academic camps - having taught at some programs in years past - and can definitely recommend Space City Tutoring and Learning Center. We've participated in the first summer of academic enrichment classes and my four-year-old son, David, has taken classes in art, science, reading, and math. Teachers are knowledgeable and make learning fun through interactive lessons. I'm amazed at the advanced concepts that David is able to learn through their instruction. The individual attention he has received in these classes has been invaluable. Thank you all so much for nurturing David's academic potential. Sincerely, Catherine
