Brittany recently applied to participate in a leadership program through the city called the Aurora Leadership Institute (ALI).  Only 30 kids each year are accepted, and out of the hundreds of applications submitted, she was chosen!  We are very proud of her for her desire to do this. It is a week-long, all-day leadership program (starting at the end of July) which will help her build her leadership skills.  Her application was quite impressive.  Adding up all her church leadership and service opportunities, student government participation, club attendance, cross-country and track team, and a well-written essay on why she should be picked, we (the proud parents) thought that she would be a shoe-in!  🙂  Congrats Brittany!
