I was glad that Don and I could give you some pointers and you really delivered with your cadence and pose. To have to give a speech in front of a lot of smart people was moving and showed me that when given a chance our students can impress anyone. <BR/><BR/>Now is the time for you to settle in and become familiar with your surroudings. Learn and learn well. You have a great teacher, Kisa Takesue, Brown Class of 1988 who is a Dean at the University. All of us want all of you, our six ladies, to bring back so much information and empower our schools. <BR/><BR/>Please remind everyone to spell check, review their grammer, and to fix any typo's. We want excellence in our work and we do not want to rush our posts. This is just a reminder and not a criticism of anyone. You are all doing fantastic work and you are helping to stengthen the reputation of the Ivy League Connection.<BR/><BR/>Our other students just returned from Dartmouth and Cornell and they have a lot of stories to share. I hope all of you have the same experience when you return in two weeks.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for making our day and making us all proud and Don is right, I too am looking forward to seeing the photos go up on the blog. All of you looked stunning today in your skirts and dresses. Your parents would be proud and I know that you feel good and want to have those pictures up so they can say "hey that is my daughter".<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your class and keep us posted.<BR/><BR/>Charles T.

Even Mercedes referred to you as "my Jessica".<BR/><BR/>I've always liked you, Jessica but you wrote the magic phrase here so you're my newest best friend. You wrote that you have photos to post. Cute, smart, a great speaker and you have photos. It just doesn't get any better than this.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.com
