I know that the blog entries are supposed to be mainly related to the initial theme presented, and I do plan to stick to the theme of music and math as a career choice, but right now I want to talk about an upcoming incredible experience.

               I was invited to attend a 3-day high school summit in Washington DC planned by AIPAC (American Israel public affairs committee) about a month ago, and this conference starts this Sunday. I am especially excited for this trip because I will get to learn more about Israel, improve my public speaking skills, get to lobby to congress, and make international friends, all lumped in to a 3-day experience. This conference is very relevant to AP Lang because I will learn how to present information from a certain point of view in a certain manner, and use rhetoric effectively in order to lobby to congress. This is going to be an incredibly jam-packed, intense, ridiculously fun 3 days, and is definitely going to be worth missing two days of school. I know that this post isn't necessarily up to my previous standards, but since I'm taking a redeye flight tomorrow I really need to get some sleep so I can get the most out of the AIPAC high school summit.
