Today was
very surreal, I came to the realization that I’ve actually been selected to
participate in this year’s Women and Leadership program at Brown University. As
a freshman I would only dream about this type of experience, but now here I am.
I am so grateful to have been selected to a program that I am so passionate
about since I aspire to be an advocate for women not only in my community, but
all around the world as well.
At 11:45 AM I met up with Don and my cohort, (Amelia, Esmeralda, Bianche, and Zunarah)
at the San Pablo public library to set up our blogs, scan IDs, and take
pictures. Even though the weather was crazy, with on and off raining and
hailing. We still managed to get some very nice photos of us all together, even
if our eyes were closed. However, the tutorial was very helpful, and I got
clarity on how to direct the website.

While Don
was going over the rules and everything else we needed to know I was so
impressed with how much work is put into the program. This seriously takes a
lot of effort. The information provided to me today was extremely useful, not
just for ILCers strictly, but also other experiences I may need it for.
Deciding
what the theme, template, and colors of our blog was fairly easy since we
aren’t that picky. Personally I think that our blog site looks super cute, and
it’s going to be so fun documenting my experiences and growth.
I love my
cohort, and I can’t wait to go to Brown with them. They are all such nice and
inspiring people who I get along with so well. The whole day I was fantasizing
about what this summer is going to be like, my dorm, the experience, even the
plane ride!
Hi Kelsey,
ReplyDeleteYour excitement really shines through in your post. Also, I love the second photo - the one both you and Amelia posted.
Happy we selected all five of you and looking forward to reading about all of your journeys this summer.
