Mirka with her acceptance letter

We are proud to announce that Mirka has been accepted into Global Potential! Mirka writes about the experience of applying to the program:

One day during BCCP, I heard about the Global Potential Program. I was very interested in it and that same day, when I went home I applied online. The application took me over an hour to fill out. Global Potential is about helping communities with low incomes in countries like the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Nicaragua. Once I filled out my application, it took a week to hear back. When they told me I was scheduled for an interview, I was so excited and also nervous because the next step was the interview. Once the day of the interview came, I was the only one dressed professionally while everybody else wore jeans. I was interviewed by 7 different people. And since there were so many students at the interview, we did a speed dating like interview. I was very nervous. I found out a week later that I got accepted. I was so happy! Now I’m going to have to face new challenges to get picked to fly overseas. For me to get picked, I need to fundraise $300, attend weekly workshops, and be very dedicated to Global Potential, but I’m ready!

Living Room


An exercise we did in class,my favorite room in my heart…

  I am the happiest and at peace in this room. Its like I’m living in a memory or a distant past. I’m able to play and joke with my uncle.  My grandma is giving me warm hugs and wise advice. I can smell the roses on her perfume. And the cool, fresh smell of the sea is on my uncle. We are talking and catching up. I take a step back to look at them sitting on the couch with smiles on their faces as the light shines on them. They look heavenly. I never want to leave my living room because in here the seven foot distance is nonexistent.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 By: Sterling Gionne

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Character

Today I got a picture of someone I didn’t know and my task was to give it a character of our own. I gave it a gender of a woman. Her name is Sonia Richards, she is 16 years of age, she is straight, she goes to church on Saturdays, and she loves pizza. She hopes to marry to a charming guy someday and she is scared of spiders. Sonia woke up one morning and as she always does she go to her window and look at the park across the street and look at the morning people exercising with their pets. Suddenly she heard a huge crashing of metals together out side so she ran out there. She was great by two cars facing each other head on. She heard the people commenting on the accident how the guy was texting and he didn’t see that he was in the next lane and he went head on to the vehicle that was coming. No one was injured badly but Sonia called the police anyway so they could sort out this mess and keep the traffic going.
