Vincent Makes Top 5

Today we had the Opening Spirit Week Assembly where I was presented to the student body as one of the top 20 male candidates for homecoming. The crowd cheered with vigor at the sound of my name as my escorts showered me with confetti at the end of the runway in my gold and black suit.

Voting occurred at lunch and the top five male and female candidates were announced just before school ended.

Being in the top five court guarantees that I will either be homecoming king or 1st- 4th prince on Friday.

Vincent is Appointed to Fill A Grand Position

Hello Everyone! I write to inform you that I have just been appointed as the Region 4 (Bay Area) Public Relations Director for CASC! (The California Association of Student Councils) This is a great honor!

I also just placed an order for my senior pictures! They are so wonderful! I can't believe that I am going to be graduating soon. The picture to the left is an example!

Vincent Attends CASC Leadership Camp (Stanford)

Hello everyone. I cannot believe that I have not updated my blog in over two months! I have been really busy with a lot of great things! I am going to begin blogging more frequently but in order to do that, my blog entries will be much shorter. I dedicate this entry to the phenomenal time I had at leadership camp! It was the time of my life.

At the beginning of August I spent four days at CASC Camp at Stanford University! To top things off I had the best roommate ever. Ross was engaging, open-minded, fun to talk to, and just a great person in general! We shared a lot of experiences and had many great conversations.

I met so many people and extended my contact list by about 40 contacts. I absolutely loved the people in my circle group! My group counselor Paula was extremely well versed and competent and led our group through many enriching exercises like facilitating and recording. (LOL inside joke).

We also had really good public speakers!

Together (my group with the entire casc population) we watched this one movie on stereotyping and racism and it was mind boggling. The discussion thereafter was even more so. Even though I was only with that group of ten for four days, it seemed like we had known each other for years when it was all over.

The banquet the day before the program ended was very moving and filled with emotion. I sang The Lion Sleeps Tonight and Ombra Mai Fu and riveted the crowd. The best dance of my life followed the banquet! Everyone knew me for sure after my songs and I danced with so many people.

I walked away so profoundly effected by my experience that I applied for CASC State Council! Thats another story.
