People To People

Today's mail brought a wonderful invitation for Logito. He has been invited to travel and study in Australia summer 2010 with High School students from the Miami area with People to People, an educational exploration program founded by Pres. Eisenhower. He was identified as eligible by his participation in College Board Student Search Service (SAT/PSAT). Unknown to us, three letters of recommendation were sent as well. It sounds like a wonderful program that gives scholarships too. I guess mid-October we'll have a meeting to find out more about all this, per the letter. I've never heard of this Student Ambassador program and I'm happy he was invited/picked to participate. More on this later folks.

I guess a student can also fill out an application for review to be accepted, if they were interested. Glad he was picked out because I'd have never known! It sounds like the jump he needs for his senior year and future.

Moreover.... I hope he is interested!!!!!!!

  3. Tell him to fly Quantas - almost no crashes ever!

    I don't like to fly either, but it's safer and cheaper than driving and a lot faster over any distance.

    Oh, and he should think about getting a passport asap - Queenee and I submitted our paperwork in person at the Town Hall and that seems to speed things up a bit, but it can be a painfully slow process.
