Today I attended the School Board meeting at DeJean Middle
School. I had the opportunity to meet the rest of the ILCers and the chaperones.
I was able to spend time with Mr. Mannix and the rest of my cohort. We had a
great conversation.
Before the ILCers were introduced, two Ivy League alumni
talked about their experiences on the east coast. They both were extremely
grateful for the Ivy League Connection because it gave them a chance to explore
colleges outside of California. I also enjoyed listening to the students'
speeches, and hearing the chaperons say wonderful things about the past summer
programs. I could truly connect with all the students' speeches because they
shared the same excitement as me. All the students are looking forward to
bringing back a great experience and sharing that experience with their peers
and community.
After all the ILCers and the chaperons were introduced, we took
a group photo. As Don had warned us before, it was extremely hard to organize
the entire group. We had to take about twenty photos. Once the group photo was
taken, the Vanderbilt cohort gathered outside to take a final photo with our certificates.
Overall, the School Board meeting had a fun and exciting atmosphere. I am
extremely excited to attend Vanderbilt. I have started the countdown on the
calendar for the adventure that waits!
