Dinner at Lalime's

The Yale dinner was incredible. The food was delicious, but hearing Professor Luong speak was undoubtedly the real treat of the dinner.

From the first moment that I found out that I was accepted to Yale Ivy Scholars and the Ivy League Connection, I have been ecstatic. However, Professor Luong's explanations of the admissions process, descriptions of the program and Yale College itself, and anecdotes about all sorts of things have made me beyond excited. Now, I feel extremely motivated to remain worthy of this amazing opportunity by doing things such as studying harder for my AP tests, which are unfortunately in three weeks.

Of course, it was also a pleasure to meet everyone else who attended the dinner. They all contributed to this eye-opening experience with their insight and questions on different matters. I'm glad to have met Jessica and Matt and look forward to sharing this "journey to Yale" with them. I really wish Stephanie Ny was able to attend this dinner, because it truly was a glimpse of the two weeks we shall spend in New Haven this summer.

Thank you so much Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Kronenberg, and Mr. Gosney for making the dinner possible!

I shall use this blog to document my journey from Pinole to New Haven. Hopefully, it will be nothing short of amazing (I still can't believe I'm going!).
