They have no confidence in what people are saying or doing. I know that it can be hard to believe, but the Ivy League Connection is the "real deal". We do not make false promises or intentionally let people down.<br /><br />We work hard to create opportunities for students who show a commitment to our philosophy. I can see from reading your post that you are now a true believer and are paying close attention to what is taking place with the program. Yes, you can believe and feel the excitement. You are one of our best and brightest and now you get a chance to prove on a larger scale.<br /><br />The Hotel Operations and Profitability Course will be one of the most interesting and challenging classes that you will take while you are in High School. What an opportunity. Remember you have earned the right to be on this stage. You went through the most rigorous of interviews. Now is the time to soak it all in and celebrate the moment.<br /><br />The school board acted to support this trip because they believe in its mission and understand and appreciate that you and your colleagues are willing to be true ambassadors for the district. You were not just picked out of a crowd. No, you were selected because you exhibited the maturity and talent to do well in this challenging, but rewarding program.<br /><br />We, at the Ivy League Connection, tip our hats to you and the others. Yes, the days are counting down and we can't wait until you step off that plane in Syracuse knowing that you will have the best three weeks of your life.<br /><br />Hope all is well and I look forward to seeing your colleagues at the Hercules City Council on Tuesday. <br /><br />Take care.<br /><br />Charles T.
