Hello there. I haven’t blogged about the program since June 28th, but I am going back to my physical journal to type up all my entries word for word about my experience with the BFSIA. The program recently ended on the 24th, and after catching up with my family, I have time to publish my writing online. I have learned life lessons at the Institute and will never forget the people to whom I have grown so close. I catch myself on the computer, on Facebook, wondering if anyone I know from BFSIA will be online, but I know it’s time to really finish those summer assignments. I am working out a schedule to upload all those entries before school starts, but until then, I’ll leave you with a short slide show created by nine other teens and me.

PS: I also found this press release that summarizes our program through Google Feeds (http://media-newswire.com/release_1123028.html).

With much love, Kathy P.
