What would it take to get you involved in a summer enrichment program? Please let me know what you are looking for and where you come from b/c that adds a lot of insight to the big picture.

-Cheap. Not extremely cheap, but not expensive. I was really close to applying for this awesome summer program at University of Michigan until I found out it was $3000. I was also really close to applying for People to People where they visit another country for three weeks in the summer (this year they're going to Japan) but that was $6000, so I couldn't do it. If you're gonna start a program, make sure it's not just for the rich kids.

-Fun. Make sure there are activities that kids would enjoy (I don't know what kind of enrichment program you're doing so I can't really be more specific)

-Educational. Make sure kids actually learn something. I'd be pissed if I joined a summer enrichment program and came out no more educated than I was before I started.

That's all I can really think of right now as it's 6:55 in the morning... I might think of more later though, so I'll let you know.


And I would never feel pain / and never be without pleasure, ever, again / and if the reign stops, and everything's dry, he would cry just so I could drink the tears from his eyes...
