First Get-Together ⎯ Adrianne's POV

I thought that the get together was the best thing that could happen to we "Brownies" pre-going to Brown over the summer! It was nice not only to meet the De Anza High School branch of Women & Leadership, but it was also really great to meet the Biotechnology & Microeconomics class! I am happy that we will be spending a little time with them over summer, seeing as though their time at Brown ends a little while after Session 2 for Brown Ivy League Connection begins.

Everyone new that I met was very sweet and funny, and I was really happy to meet them. I had a great time and I hope that we will have more get-togethers in the future.
