Week 7

Hello Lovely People,

We had an amazing week 7 at BCSM! Big shout out to the students who made the practice SAT on Tuesday (not to mention on your day off from school). Your dedication and hard work is definitely going to pay off! We also had the opportunity to discuss our dream schools. While some students do not have an exact school in mind, all of them have an idea of the type of school they envision themselves at which is a great start! I'm so excited for all the students as they begin this college selection process. They are so  much closer to the application process than they think.

Next week is going to be quite eventful as we will be having our parent dinner where I hope to see all of you there! Again it will be on November 11th at Frankie and Johnny's, located on 1913 Bronxdale Ave. at 6:30pm. I am so excited to see students and parents all together. Also, we can expect to see Danise and Jenni from the SEAD staff at Dartmouth who will be joining us for dinner. They will also be stopping by for a quick visit on Wednesday to get a glimpse of  BCSM. As it will also be my second to last week at BCSM I will be starting to do wrap workshops with the students. This upcoming week we will talk about transcripts and what they say to colleges. Every student has a story and we will discuss what story their transcript tells colleges. Do not be discouraged if freshman year was a rough start, your hard work and improvement is something that can be seen if you put in the work. We will also begin to set goals that students will work on with their next intern who will arrive on January 8th.

As our time is drawing closer to the end :( students can also expect to meet with me in more one on one meetings to discuss how our time and term together has gone and what improvements they would like to see. Please also feel free to give opinions as to what they would like to do as our last SEAD activity together! Have a great week everyone!

SEADlove,
Erika
