Hi,

I am sorry about your Lead experience, but please keep an open mind. True there are other great options, but I think Lead is should be considered. The only thing I didn’t like this year was how they selected the schools to attend. My DD went to U of I along with all of the other Illinois students. I was hoping she could go to a school she was actually considering applying. My son goes to U of I and loves it, however they are very different people.

I have a friend whose DD went to the Carnegie Mellon program. She didn’t rave about it I believe due to length. MITES is great, but again you have to be ok with length of time.

Last night my DD hosted a veterans dinner with her key club for the community. I sneaked into event because I have never witnessed her truly in charge. As president, she was the host for event. I could see people going and asking her questions when she was not on mike. I was so very proud and the veterans really enjoyed the program. I can’t believe she will be in some incredible college in less than a year!
