After school on Thursday, February 18th, we all left for High Point, NC! About 9 hours later (thanks to stupid Washington D.C.) we arrived! =]
The next morning, I visited a psychology class for elementary education majors! It was actually taught by the Dean of the School of Education. It was so incredible! My family and I spent the rest of the day wandering around the beautiful campus. Later that day was the HPU Presidential Scholarship dinner event. It was perfectly done. The food, entertainment, and speeches were absolutely amazing.
The following day was when the interviews took place. In the morning, we (us students) attended a speech by the President of High Point University, Dr. Nido Qubein. I cannot even put into words how amazing this person is. He is truly one of the most inspirational people I have ever met in my life. Google/youtube him. He is a very well-known motivational speaker, author, business man, and most importantly - President of High Point University.
The interviews went very well! Again, the people in the South are just SO different. They are very laid back, happy, faithful, generous, welcoming, and loving people. (The list goes on and on.) The people at HPU are so friendly and personable. They really care about who you are! I also met so many awesome future students!
I will never forget the HPU Presidential Scholarship weekend. I had the time of my life there. I will update y'all on what school I decide to go to! Anyway, I know that my heart belongs in the South.
Missing the South,
Amy
