Last Sunday, the Brown mentorship
group met at the prestigious Olympic Club for the last meeting with this
particular group of people. As the two juniors in the program, Adrianne and I
will continue to reap the benefits from this amazing organization for another
year. However, Kathleen and Erinn are both graduating so in a sense this last
meeting was goodbye.
The Brown mentorship program has
been a huge help to me this past year, and I’m very grateful that I can
continue to be part of the program next year as well. As I prepare to start the
college application process over the summer, it’s reassuring to know that
whenever I have questions I can ask my mentor Lauren Brodsky. As an alumnus of
both El Cerrito High School and Brown University, she has an especially good
understanding of where I’m coming from as an ECHS student.
The Olympic Club was a beautiful
choice of venue, and Mr. Ramsey’s brother, Ismail Ramsey, was generous enough
to give us a tour of the Club after brunch. I enjoyed touring the lavishly
decorated women’s locker room, although it will be difficult to get used to the
ECHS locker room again after viewing the splendor of the Olympic Club’s.
Once again, all my thanks to the
ILC and the Brown mentorship program for the fantastic opportunities provided
this past year. I know I can count on the support of both the ILC and the Brown mentorship program as I become a senior and go through the college application process.
