It was refreshing for me to be around such an alert and enterprising group of students. I think sometimes I tend to put teenagers into a collective box; defined by what I perceive to be weird fashion, weirder language (LOLZ anyone?), brainless and loud music and raging hormones. Yeah, I know. I suck for that. LOLZ (ahem) But being in environments like these reminds me that they are individuals, alive with hope and innovative ideas...and I smile as I look forward to the contributions that they will make to society and our world at large.
Special thanks to Jackie Meredith for having me on board as a speaker. You are truly a gem!
