Pinole City Council Meeting

Today was the Ivy League Connection presentation at the Pinole City Council meeting in Pinole California, U.S.A.  The meeting was set to start at 6:30 PM however, the meeting began late leaving us time to discuss the topics of the day with other members in the ILC. The purpose of the meeting was to address concerns with the community and also to acknowledge the Ivy League Connection and the accomplishments of all of our members. This meeting was a good opportunity to show members of the Pinole City Council the accomplishments of their hard work to provide a decent education for its local students.

During the meeting each cohort was called to the podium for an introduction.  Also, a member of each cohort was chosen to give a brief speech about the ILC. Of course, I was the lucky one from the PENN cohort to speak.  I figured that my Varsity Impromptu speech background from Forensics would help me.  However, compared to my normal speeches, the speech I gave for the Council Members was short and dull.  Despite what I may think about my speech, after watching the video of myself talking I felt more assured.  The council meeting was another great opportunity to gain some professional exposure that can be used to aid my acceptance into a university.   So in conclusion, tonight was a good experience for myself and for my fellow members of the PENN cohort.
