I’m just now getting a chance to do a recap on my first College Summit workshop, which happened at the end of June. We already know that the CS workshops are phenomenal, and that I highly recommend volunteering at them.
I had a great time co-rap directing with my best friend Karla at our alma mater. It was a perfect recipe for a great workshop, and I met some great alumni leaders and volunteers. But to top all that off, we had a fantastic group of 50 students from Arleta High School with whom I literally fell in love. It’s hard to describe it when that magic moment happens at a workshop, but it happened with us at USC. Volunteers and workshop staff do workshops for many reasons, but I cannot describe the real draw, which has something to do with the love that encompasses the entire workshop. This is what makes volunteers keep coming back year after year, and this is what makes the workshops succeed.
Below are a couple pics from the USC workshop, and a tribute that one of our students, Jay Jay, made for us via youtube.
This is a video capture that Jay Jay uploaded of Karla and I at the banquet:
Hopefully that gave you a small taste of why I love College Summit workshops.
