The next Saturday meeting is November 12. We’ll be in Landrum, room 110, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m. We’ll have lunch at the Village Café at Norse Commons as we did last month.

Seniors—Judy will discuss Financial Aid Packages as well as Finding the Fit. If you’ve received texts from Finding the Fit saying to contact your Adviser, it means to call or text Judy or Eric. Go ahead and apply to NKU if you haven’t already done so.

Juniors—Eric will work with you to start your online scholarship search and consider your scholarship essay.

Sophomores and 9th graders—Laken will have a number of intriguing activities for you.

October 8th meeting pictures

Juniors and sophomores were able to meet new friends and re-establish friendships from the summer.

Here are some pictures.

When walking through the halls at Gallatin

County High School, you might think you’re see-

ing double. But no. You’ve just passed twin

brothers. They may be tired of hearing people

say this, but we can tell them apart by their glass-

es or lack of, but we can and should tell them

apart by their differences in opinions and likes

and dislikes. By checking out the Student Spot-

light questionnaire, we find:

If I had an extra $50, I’d: Saul—put it in my sav-

ings account; Chendo—buy a bunch of clothes.

I’d rather be: Saul—playing basketball than

watching tv; Chendo—anywhere else than at

school.

I’ve been known to consume large quantities of:

Saul—chips; Chendo—food.

Something I want to do in my life is: Saul—

become a doctor; Chendo—be a doctor.

A quality I most admire in other people and why

is: Saul—their creativeness because they’re crea-

tive and I’d like to be more creative; Chendo—

kindness because being kind is always nice.

A positive influence in my life and why has been:

Saul—Martin Luther King Jr. because he taught me

to love everyone; Chendo—Greg Mortenson be-

cause he shows kindness all the time.

I hope people see me as: Saul—a good person;

Chendo—a kind funny person.

DECEMBER 3—WE’RE TRAVELING!

The December newsletter will be mailed after the December meeting because of Thanksgiving and our office will be closed for a few days. We’ll not have time to prepare it.

DON’T FORGET the DECEMBER 3 meeting, 9:30 a.m.—3 p.m. Dress for the weather because we’ll visit downtown Cincinnati after lunch.
