Hello Ms. GG!
This is Lizeth. I am emailing you to update you on what I've been up to lately. Last week, my counselor talked to me about graduation. I know that it seems too far to start thinking about it, but he said that graduating Hispanic students in CCSD get to participate in the Hispanic Graduation Ceremony. He told me that he would like to nominate me to be a speaker at the graduation next year! Additionally, he said he would like me to write a short book about my experience as a immigrant student who strives for excellence! Isn't that incredible? I have the entire summer to write it. I do not know if it will be published as a physical book or just in an electronic form, but I am still honored to do so.
Now, let me tell you, I have never been so excited for a summer vacation. Starting off on June 17-19, I will be at a leadership camp in Mt. Potosi. On the day I return, I have a couple hours to get ready to catch my flight to Puerto Rico! I sent you an invitation to …show more content…
That month I will be on "ambitious-mode" as I will be hunting down scholarship websites. I applied for a leadership camp at the University of Denver and depending if I am admitted and a recipient of the scholarship, I will be flying to Denver to attend the camp the last week of July. If I am not admitted, I will be going to the San Diego University for the annual Josten's Yearbook Camp, also held on the last week of July. I hope that in July and August I am able to travel to nearby states to explore college campuses.
In my "downtime," I plan to write my book. Also, I am excited for my high school summer reading. Since I'll be taking Advanced Placement English Literature next year, my summer assignment is to read George Orwell's 1984. I've previously read Animal Farm and some of his essays and his work is phenomenal. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of 1984!
But tell me, how were your last few days of
