Mission Possible students from Adair at universities this summer Lejano Zavalija and Austin Bradshaw at Western Kentucky University; Alexa Quiroz, Andrew stotts, and Pablo Plancarte were at Vanderbilt. Cosmo Bosela accepted to Vanderbilt Summer Academy, but was unable to attend. Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Pam Geisselhardt News from Adair County Gifted and Talented program While the rest of us were enjoying our carefree summer days, several of Adair County's Mission: Possible students were living on a university campus experiencing a challenging introduction to the rigors of college life. Lejano Zavalija and Austin Bradshaw participated in the Summer Camp for Academically Talented Students at Western Kentucky University. As a rising 8th grader, Lejano studied organic chemistry and creative writing. Lejano is quite a gifted writer! Austin, as a rising freshman, had the opportunity to both design and build task specific robots, while also doing an in-depth study of advanced adaptations. They both gained new friends and memories to last a lifetime. Alexa Quiroz (senior), Andrew Stotts (junior) and Pablo Plancarte (freshman) were accepted as Acorn Scholars into the Vanderbilt Summer Academy. Cosmo Bosela was also accepted, but was unable to attend. Alexa's class of choice was Med School 101. Andrew studied biomedical engineering, and Pablo acquired a vast knowledge about structural engineering ("including trigonometry"). These summer programs for gifted students are, obviously, meant to challenge the brightest students. However they propose to engage the "whole child."Daily the students had the opportunity to interact with students from across America, and from around the world. They were able to participate in yoga, fencing, dance, martial arts, etc. The programs' goal is to encourage intellectual stimulation while providing ways to develop social, emotional, and physical well-being. Summer academy students are able to push their intellectual limits alongside friends who also appreciate the joy of learning and discovery. We need to urge more of our gifted/talented students to take advantage of these kinds of opportunities. Encouraging these students builds a stronger Adair County. - Pam Geisselhardt This story was posted on 2012-08-16 15:55:43
