Who We Are
The following are excerpts from e-mails from Summer of a Lifetime students to their SOL Mentors:
| …I am having a really great time here in Georgetown. I’m taking two classes, the am class is Crime Scene Investigation. My pm class is Spy Operations of the 20th Century. They are very interesting and fun classes. I really like them. I really like the dorms I live on the first floor… I've met people from New York, Los Angeles, even from France and Spain. So there are people from all over the world here. I really like that because not only do you meet people from the states, but also people from other countries and you learn what it is like in their countries. I have had so much fun here, I really enjoyed going to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other places. This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and I will never forget it… I really wouldn’t give up this experience for anything in the world. | ||

| …I am in Wisconsin right now in the lab room. I was just thinking about you and I wanted you to know how I was doing. So, let’s see… I have gone shopping and it was alot of fun. I have been going to my classes. They are cool. The first class is Identity, Race & Gender. The second class is playwriting. That is the best class because I love to write… | ||

| …I have been at Dickinson for 4 days now. Today was my 2nd day of class. My first class is Sociology… Then I have history… Carlisle is a beautiful small town. This is so different from Chicago… | ||
| ~Jennifer, Dickinson College | ||
| …I like my professor for Sociology. We have many discussions. My professor for history is a little boring but she is so sweet… I think you are right about me being busy with classes and not having time to think about being away from home. I have 2 papers to write and 4 tests to worry about. I'm sure that those will keep me busy. I know this is for the best and I am so lucky to have been chosen for this great opportunity. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me. | ||
| ~Jennifer, Dickinson College | ||
| …I spent my whole Saturday at Hershey Park. It was so much fun. I went on the chocolate tour and I saw Amish people, too… I had an English midterm today. I was so happy because it was so easy and everyone else in my class was stressing out. I have another midterm in Sociology on Wednesday. I also went on a ghost tour on Friday. They told us all the ghost stories around campus… | ||

| …I’m doing great! Right now I'm at Dominican in the computer lab!! I just took an ACT practice test for English! Well, so far my experience here has been great! The teachers and classes are fun!! The classes are 3 hours long but they’re still fun! I have classes with different kids from different schools! They are not so bad! They are actually fun! Well, thanks for everything you've done for me! I really appreciate it!!... | ||

| …I’m really having fun on the the trip and I am meeting many new people and seeing new things. The scenery out here is like nothing I have seen before and I am going to take a lot more pictures. Even though when I call home I get homesick, I still like it here. I’ve adjusted well to the environment, as well as my class and super intelligent peers… | ||
| ~Steve, University of Arizona | ||
| …the friends I made there were awesome... I had so much fun there and wished it never ended. | ||
| ~Dionne, Stanford University | ||
| …things are going very good. Thank you for this opportunity. It’s fun. I’m considering U of A. The people here are very friendly. I’ve been taking advantage of everything available to me and have gone out with my friends many times… | ||
| ~Martha, University of Arizona | ||
| …Well, I finished my classes at Dominican…Well, I had lots of fun at Dominican. At the end of the program we had a small ceremony and I had to give a speech thanking Dominican for allowing us to be there. It was lots of fun!...Well, I just want to say thank you so much for all that you did for me. Thanks for providing me with all I needed. I said it once and I’ll say it again, I was very fortunate to have a mentor like you who actually cared and took the time to help out students like me!... | ||
