It just doesn't get any better than this.<br /><br />While your friends are off having a good time when school lets out, they won't have a clue what they're missing. How can they possibly get by without reading 707 pages on the Peloponnesian War? And how will they be able to master their senior years without having read The Art of War?<br /><br />No sir, Connor, you've got it made in the shade. Their fun will be fleeting while yours will last you a life time.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4099592096040922825.post-30391006947580994642010-05-15T19:52:32.251-07:002010-05-15T19:52:32.251-07:00Dr. Luong has command in what he is saying because...Dr. Luong has command in what he is saying because he believes in every word that he utters. I want you to have the same command and I expect that you will once you conclude your time on the Yale University campus.<br /><br />I am glad that you are not uncomfortable with the reading list. I believe it is healthy to read from some of the great authors of the distant past. Yohanna was right "These writings are life-changing experiences" What a wonderful opportunity for you to expand your horizons and to seek out ultimate knowledge.<br /><br />"Um" is not in my lexicon of words as well. I also see that you are very observant and pay special attention to detail. This is a good sign Connor. I hope that you are able to also show your talents and abilities when you are on the Yale campus. It will be a serious endeavor and one that will give you a new perspective when you return home.<br /><br />I am glad that you stuck with the Ivy League Connection and decided to give this program a chance. You did a wonderful job in your interview and your true personality has now come to the forefront.<br /><br />This summer will be exciting and I hope that you are looking forward to being on the East Coast.<br /><br />Take care.<br /><br />Charles T.
