Last Tuesday, most of the juniors at IHS went to a trip to New Paltz SUNY. We departed at 7:00 am and it took us about 2 hrs and 30 min to get there. Many of us slep until we anxiouslly waited to arrive there. The first thing we did was walk to the Lecture Hall and listened important facts about New Paltz.
We learned about the background of the college and three different ways to get into New Paltz. Out of te three ways of getting into New Platz the one that interested me the most was the Education Oportunity Program (EOP), which consists on giving extra support to the ones who have the knowledge and enthusiams to get into New Paltz but don't have all the requirenments the admission asks for.
This was a important point which made me think that they worry for the students, and not just for population on the school. After that we were introduced to students who later took us to a trip around the campus. In the tour they gave us details about the buldings, and environmet. They also responded to all of the questions we had.
At the end of the day we went to the cafeteria, which for one of us was the most excited part. The food was delicious. After that we headed to Brooklyn, in which many including myself slept, again. =)
Waking up at 5:40 am was worth it, even though i thought i was not going to be able to wake up that early, but I made it. I ended up tired, but i don't regret going to New Paltz. I hope we keep having fun trips as this one and the one in Philadelphia.
I would like to say Thanks all my wonderful teachers for making my highschool's years one of the mosts.
LOVES YA Diana Araujo
About Me
- Michelle Ar-Te
- I'm D and I created this blog when I was a junior at International High School at Lafayette (which at the time was located in Canarsie.) We were assigned to create a blog in order to post updates regarding our experience as interns at wonderful sites that were somehow related to our academic goals. Since I was extremely interested in criminal justice I interned at the Vera Institute, a prestigious non-profit organization that relates to the work I longed for. Certainly my dreams have somehow changed, I am now an undergraduate at The New School pursuing a major on Politics and a minor on Hispanic Studies.
