Sorry for the long absence. I thought I was finished with law school applications, but have decided to apply to a few more programs. Needless to say, writing essays is taking ALL my free time after school.
Until I can type more, here's a brief update on some things:
-I was notified several weeks ago by my principal that I will be receiving a $1,000 grant from the district. I applied for the grant for a Social Studies project I have written for the sixth grade. I'm really excited about the project - especially since it now has the funding to happen! Basically, we'll be surveying the student body, compiling our data, and hanging a flag in the cafeteria for each country represented at Miller. I'm hoping to convince former Secretary of State James Baker to come speak at the unveiling of our new re-dedicated cafeteria (I mean, we go to the same Houston church - that's gotta mean something, right?). I'll keep you posted.
-I'm applying for a Masters of Public Policy program in addition to law school. If I make it into a certain unmentioned law school up North, I'll hopefully be able to work towards both a JD and MPP in four years.
-Hillary Clinton comes to Houston this Thursday and I won't get to see her. A TFA friend has told me that her principal told their staff that Hillary will be touring their school Wednesday. This is the same school that was reported in the NYTimes earlier this year as threatened with being closed down by the school board if they didn't meet AYP (Bush's federal education requirements... Adequate Yearly Progress). I think Hillary will be touring my friend's classroom. Ah! Why not me?!
