Annual Dessert Reception

Today was my Annual Dessert Reception at my home for the freshmen recipients of the Delegate Scholarship Awards that I granted.  There were 39 freshmen invited to come with their parents.  In reviewing the list, I noticed that 10 of the 39 freshmen had elected to go to the College of Southern Maryland for their first year.  The rest are scattered through the higher education system in Maryland and a few are pursuing unique majors in universities outside Maryland.

I truly enjoy meeting the awardees and catching up on how they are doing in college and get their impressions on how college life differs from high school.  I also enjoy seeing them compare notes with fellow high school graduates who they haven’t seen since they left for college.  This is a very impressive group.  They are focused on what they plan to do in life, how to get the most out of their college experience, and how to accomplish their goals.   They are very mature in their choices and articulate in voicing their plans.
