Meet
Maria and Beatrice. They are members of our Youth Education program’s Computer
Clubhouse.
Maria
has been a member since she was 8 years old. Next year she will be graduating
high school and will no longer be a part of the program. Maria’s
plans are to attend college and study engineering.
Beatrice
joined the Clubhouse last summer.She is a freshman in high school and
has hopes of being an engineer when she graduates and goes on to college.
I
am very proud of them both.
I
selected both of these girls to attend Teen Summit 2014 in Boston this summer.
I chose them because of their participation in the Clubhouse, above average
grades in school, upbeat and friendly personalities and enthusiasm to learn,
explore and create with the use of technology. They are prime role models
to the younger youth in the program.
This
will be Maria and Beatrice first time in Boston and the very first time Maria
has been on a plane. This will be my first time attending Teen Summit as
well. As a bunch of newbies, we are excited, anxious, and can hardly wait for
this new adventure!
Beatrice
Hello.
My name is Beatrice. I am participating in Teen Summit 2014, I am one of the
two members in SFBFS’ Computer Clubhouse chosen to go. I am eager to meet new
people and motivated to try new things. Boston, here I come!
Maria
Hello.
My name is Maria. I have the privilege to go to Boston and attend Teen Summit
2014. I am very happy to have this opportunity, work with other youth from
Clubhouse all around the world and learn new idea to bring back our
Clubhouse.
