I’m Going to South Africa this summer

Thanks guys.

I was just selected today for the National Endowment for the Humanities – South Africa – Continuity and Change – a five week seminar this summer (June 20 to July 28). Please go here to learn more about that seminar.

Whenever I apply to these seminars – I do it with you all (Oakridge students) foremost in mind. I want you to travel, to see the world, to experience all the diversity that is out there. When you go to college and so many of you will, spend a semester abroad. Do whatever you can do to take a voyage to another world. Grab a Eu-rail pass and see Europe. And then go into the third world. You’ll never be the same. You will know that your little sperm and your little egg came together in this first world country – that you can do whatever it is that want to do – and it makes all the difference. Know that for sure.

The key to life is that you experience life. Stay awake guys. And thank you for inspiring me to reach out for these experiences.

And I promise I will find Prudence!

Thanks. Mr. Wood.
