A Confident Commitment

Hey everyone! Today is May 1st, National College Decision Day. This means that all high schoolers in the United States who are planning on going to college must commit by today. I am happy to report that I have made the decision to attend Stanford University! I am so excited to stay in California and attend this amazing college. Recently, I went to Admit Weekend on campus to learn more about the school! I stayed in a freshman dorm, went to activities, and even sat in on a couple of classes. There was even a gong you could hit if you were going to commit! Attending this Admit Weekend was a great way to ensure my love for the school and help me in my commitment decision. Check out some pictures from my weekend at Stanford below!

Stanford University: My Future School
Although I am already committed to a university, I still have two more months of high school left! Are you still in school? What do you like to do during the end of the school year? Let me know in the comments!

AmericanAmanda goes to Norway!

Meeting Ambassador White
Speaking about US life
Hey everyone! I just spent the last week in Norway talking to Norwegian students about high school life in America and the US college application process. My first stop was Oslo where I visited three high schools to talk about my life as a US high school student. At night I gave an International Education Seminar about applying to US colleges at the US embassy. I also had a nice meeting with Ambassador White, the US Ambassador to Norway.

Then I traveled to Ă…lesund and went to three more high schools and held another Education Seminar. I absolutely loved meeting all the norwegian students and listening to their great questions about life in the United States and applying to colleges!
