Thanks for the heads up Coach Ace
This would be really neat to do or try. I think it would be a great experience for high schoolers. I wish they had something like this back in the day, or at least I wish I would have known about it. I would like to try. Thanks for sharing.
That does sound like an awesome experience, I wish I knew someone that would be eligible, but I will certainly keep it in mind. I checked out their site and it really does look cool…
I highly recommend that all students who are able to take advantage of this internship do so… My son is going to try for it.
I work with a bunch of really smart high schoolers (mostly girls) and told them all about it and some of them are going to give it a shot. Would be really cool if one of them gets to do it and I can hear all about what goes on in the White House!
Wow, that's an amazing opportunity. I wish I'd had the chance back when I was in high school. Keep up the great work, Marenda!
Well, i'm too old for it, but i definitely will share this with a few promising youngsters, i know.
