Lead America Helps You Focus on the Big Picture
So the job is going OK, although I miss sleeping in on Saturday morning! I can’t believe school is almost over this year and I’ll be a SENIOR this fall!! I’ve been connecting with other students on Facebook who will be going to the Lead America Law & Justice program this summer and reading the great reviews, so I’m really excited! I was also reading up on the program again on lead-america.org and can’t wait for the crime scene reconstruction! Sounds like an episode of CSI! The only part that sucks is that it’s only 10 days long.
I was just thinking that this time next year I’ll be trying to decide what college to go to. I’m going to apply to Boston College (my dad went there), Penn State, Georgetown, and maybe even some place warmer like the University of South Florida. My aunt lives in Tampa so she could show me around. I’m doing a lot of research now, but I think I’ll like a bigger school. Some people believe that colleges think Lead America is just a big scam, so on my application essay, I’m going to talk about the positive effects Lead America had on my life and how the law conference helped to settle my career choice. By helping me be sure about what I want to study in college, I can go ahead and declare a major and focus on those courses that will help me get into law school. Gotta think about the big picture, you know, and Lead America certainly helps you do that.

My Lead America Review, They Delivered As Promised
Getting a Head Start on College with Lead America – No Scams Involved
Starting a part time job this weekend to help pay for my Lead America program this summer. I’m going to be working at the Gap in the mall. One of my best friends got a job there, too, so that should make it more fun. She’s also going to a Lead America conference, but not the same one as me. That sucks, but she’s a math whiz and wants to be an aerospace engineer, so she’s going to the Engineering & Robotics Lead America program in Boston. This will be her first Lead America experience. Her parents were suspicious it was a scam and they were asking me all kinds of questions about it. They read some reviews about Lead America online from people who were saying that Lead America isn’t worth the money, that they’re scam artists, so I had to tell them how much I loved it and really think it’s a good investment. They even grilled my parents about it. I guess I understand, since they’re not rich or anything. They want to make sure they’re going to get their money’s worth. But I told them to check out the financial aid info on www.Lead-America.org and even student reviews on facebook. Hec, Erica’s such a brainiac, she could probably get a scholarship from them. I just really feel like Lead America helps you get a head start on college, plus you can get college credits too! I think it looks good on your college application, that you wanted to do something to better yourself during your summer instead of just hanging out at the pool flirting and working on your tan.

My Summer Won’t Suck Since I’ll Be Learning at Lead America!
Choosing a Career with the Help of Lead America
Spring break is over now – bummer. Since I’m going to the Lead America program in a few months, I didn’t go anywhere over break this year which kinda sucks, but oh well. Well, I did go to Killington, Vermont with my cousin for a couple of days and did some snowboarding, so that was fun. Hopefully I’ll get to go on a big spring break trip next year – my senior year!!
I wish I could do all of the Lead America career conferences, but I could only pick one. I read some great reviews about the Law & Justice one, and I’m leaning toward going to law school after college, so hopefully this conference will help me figure it out. Catching cyber criminals sounds really interesting. It’s definitely a job in demand these days and I’m sure it will only keep growing.

Don’t Be Jealous And Say Lead America Programs Are A Scam Since You’re Not Going
Lead America a Scam? No Way - My Experience Was Incredible
It’s spring break and I’m getting so psyched for this summer already. Looking forward to the Lead America Law & Justice program I’ll be attending in June. Some of my friends from school tell me that they heard Lead America is a scam, but it’s soooo not! Maybe they’re just jealous. I learned so much about myself. I know some of the kids goofed off and didn’t take it seriously, but my parents paid good money to send me, so I wanted to make the most of it. Every day is full of awesome activities and speakers. And I met kids from all over the country. I feel so lucky that I get to go to another one – can’t wait!!
This will be my second Lead America conference. The first one I went to was the Leadership University conference in D.C. three years ago – the summer before my freshman year in high school. It was awesome! I met so many cool people and my roommate and I are still good friends. Plus I keep in touch with a lot of other kids I met. The ropes course was especially cool. I was a little worried about it at first, but working together with everyone definitely made it easier, which was the point. And I was also nervous about the role-playing exercises cause even though I’m outgoing with my friends, I’m a little shy in front of strangers. But I got through it and it helped me gain confidence in my abilities. Anyone who thinks Lead America programs are a scam need to experience one first hand.
