Back to School

Hi campers,

I'm not sure if any of you or you parents will check this again now that camp has been over for a while, but I just wanted to leave a note for anyone who might stop by.

As I return to classes tomorrow, it reminds me that you, too, are returning to school. I want to encourage you to maintain an interest in math and science this year and in the future. Make sure you take advantage of everything your school offers, and if it's not enough for you, seek out additional opportunities in your area - maybe programs offered by nearby community colleges or universities. I realize that we're all busy, and your parents may think you are too busy to take on any more activities, as mine did when I was your age, but I want you to fight for your interests. You may go to school with people who don't think doing extra math or science activities outside of school makes you a cool person, but I know they're wrong. I'm cool because I like math and science and love being a bioengineer, and so are all my friends here at college. Feel free to take that coolness to high school with you.

Good luck this year!

Sarah
