After two weeks living on one of the best colleges in the nation and over 18 hours of travel on the way home, I can truly say Summer @ Brown 2015 was an experience I will never forget! For five days a week, I took an economics class that taught me informed financial decisions that I will need to take in my future. Although my class was at 8:30 in the morning, the lessons I learned and the energy of the class is something that I miss the most about this program.

However, with all this work, I also made sure to include my fair share of play! Over those two weeks, I made meaningful friendships with some of the brightest people I've met. Highlights of my program include exploring Providence late at night, afternoon Quidditch games, daily pool tournaments and a weekend trip to the beach at Newport. The memories I made are ones that will always be special to me.

I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me attend this program, once more. I greatly appreciate your generosity in giving me one of the best summers I've had!

With my departure for Providence in less then a week, I cannot describe my excitement right now! Next year, I will be applying to colleges myself, and what better way than to spend my summer at an actual college? In the future, I want to major in Computer Science and minor in Business, so I could one day start my own start-up. From Summer @ Brown, I hope to learn about some of the business aspects of running a company while meeting like-minded individuals along the way!
