Ecce! Roma!

As I have walked around on this trip, the images that go through my head are just so breathtaking.  I have taken things from this experience that I will NEVER forget.  I'm so lucky to be one of the students that has come here.

Rome is the most incredible city in the world. There is something about the look of the remnants of the Roman Empire that just leaves me speechless.

Sorrento

We have experienced so much and experienced a completely different way of living. I have had moments when I would step back and realize where we are and know I’ll never forget it.—Marisa Preston

Do not allow the return home to bring you back to the person you were two weeks ago, for then all of this has meant nothing to you. ‘Use your past to live in the present to better your future.’”

—Greg Huff (2003 & 2005)

Blue Grotto

“When I heard Huff say this would be a life-changing

experience, it seems now like an understatement. I came

here with some expectations that were completely blown

out of the water.

They say that trips and journeys, such as the one we embarked on, change

one’s life. I don’t think that anyone truly believes it

until it happens to them. This trip did, indeed, make

an imprint on my life.

Florence/florentia

In the David, Michelangelo has really mastered sculpting human anatomy. Florence was, by far, my favorite day of the trip and one of the best days of my life.

VeronaDespite my anticipation, I couldn’t have realized how great of a country Italy is. This entire trip, down to the smallest detail, will never be forgotten.

Working Student: Potential Financial Plan

Summer (June 14)

25 hrs/week @7.25/hour

= (net) $275 every pay period

4 pay periods between 6/14 and 8/6

=$1,100 (net) for the summer

September through February

7 hrs/week @7.25/hour= (net) $79 every pay period

12 pay periods between September and February

(allowing for 3 weeks of no work)

=$948 (net) for the school year

In this plan, the student will have earned $2,048 by the March 1st payment deadline. Following these formulae, the same student

would be able to save $800 for spending money between March and June, allowing for three weeks of no work.
