Summer Study 1997 - Wednesday, August 6

Today was one of the funniest days for the Scholars. The highlight of the day was the Ski-For-All. First of all, the kids had breakfast and then they went down to the computer lab for the first of many classes. The first class was a beginning look at the Internet. After lunch the Scholars had a class on improving your mind for college. The professor ( Mr. Graham Allen) talked about how the kids must have a positive outlook on college. He also said that the average person only thinks about five minutes a day. We all thought that was kind of interesting.

After that we then went down to eat dinner before going out and doing Ski-For-All. Ski-For-All is a program that lets disabled kids ride special bikes for them. For example blind kids ride tandem bikes, which is where one person will direct the bike, and another person will just peddle. For one student (Justin) it was probably one of the funniest days of his life. He rode five different bikes and enjoyed all of them. Then we did our evening activities and went to bed.
