I wish! I didn’t make the deadline

@sprights Lol, we could have been HOBY hommies! Has anyone taken the driver’s test yet (behind the wheel)? If so, how was it?
I think they have a volunteer program for juniors, so I’ll probably check it out @1LuckyBrave and I’ve only taken the permit test, I have a couple months till I can get my license.
Same here … they also have a world leadership camp for juniors (I think) at Loyola Chicago. Lol, don’t ya hate the traffic in L.A.?
I took a walk after school today and it was the nicest thing. About a quarter mile from my house, there’s this creek that meets up with a river and I walked along it and it was warm and a little windy-- a perfect temperature in the end.
LA traffic is pretty bad, but I live in a quiet neighborhood (thankfully) so I don’t really experience it, unless it’s 6 PM friday night. And really? I’ve never heard of it. Loyola Chicago is so far lol, do you know if the program is expensive?
@1LuckyBrave ^^^^
@sprights My bad, it is the advanced leadership academy. It is located in Fairfax, VA. Here is a link for more info: http://www.hoby.org/advanced-leadership-academy. It costs $895 for accommodation, food, etc. It doesn’t cover for airplane transportation.
If I were to recommend you a STEM leadership seminar, I would suggest National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. You could get a full scholarship from your teacher, and they have an Overnight Program for students going “Han Solo”. You listen to doctors, Nobel laureates, and leaders in the med field. If you are geared for engineering, the organization has another seminar called National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists. :-B
@1LuckyBrave Yeah, I don’t really have much money, and neither do my parents, so I’ll probably pass on that. And I just googled the program, turns out I’ve visited their page before 
I’ll check it out again. I was just accepted into a medical camp, and its free too which is super amazing!
I’m not even old enough to get my permit haha. Even then, I probably won’t take the test until after school ends.
I just looked it up, I can’t find anything about scholarships…it seems like an amazing program (I want to be a doctor) but it’s really expensive. @1LuckyBrave
@topaz1116 Haha, start driver’s ed. Once you finish, you could probably take the permit test. Take the test ASAP! I waited for 5 hrs. at the DMV, and it took only 30 minutes to get my license. :((
@sprights If your science teacher becomes involved with the organization, he or she could award you a full scholarship.
Ah I’m taking my permit test tomorrow! I’ve been able to get it for a couple months, but I’ve been too busy until now, since I’m on spring break.
I turned 15 and a half in March but I still haven’t started my driving stuff. I don’t really want to drive anyways.
@dsi411 You took the words right out of my mouth. I’m the exact same way, and I turned 15 and a half in March, too!
I turn 15 1/2 in May, so I still have time to finish Driver’s Ed xD It’s too much work to log hours…
I turned 15 1/2 last May, so that’s when I got my permit-freshman year.
I could’ve gotten my license 2 months ago, but because my schedule assigns me for 4th Quarter Driver’s Ed I can’t take Behind-the-Wheel until school ends, boo.

I just finished translating Catullus 44 (a poem) for Latin class and I’m marveling at how nicely my teacher chose the curriculum for this quarter. 1 flowed into 14a because of the giving of a gift which flowed into 22 because of the Suffenus mention which flowed into 44 because he talked about bad writing. The first three quarters we read a patchwork of fragments by different authors which was fun, but this continuity is an experience I’m glad to have (and one that more closely resembles future coursework)
@topaz1116 Lol, my friend took the online course. He just left his monitor on for the entire night to complete the 30 hrs. I am not suggesting or recommending anything, but ya know!
I wish we had Latin at my school.
