In January 2008, I applied for the [http://pgse.cis.drexel.edu/ Pennsylvania Governor's Schools of Excellence] in [http://pgse.cis.drexel.edu/pgsit/index.html Information, Society & Technology] for the summer of 2008 at Drexel in Philadelphia.

==Governor's Schools==
The Governor's Schools are free summer programs paid for by the PA state government for high school students. They have them in a variety of topics at a variety of colleges in the state. Tuition as well as room and board are paid for by the state - at no cost to the student.

==Why I want to attend==

I've always loved technology. (I think this website can attest!) I am at the crossroads now with GridView. Over the past month I had to learn how to manage a Linux server and tune it for performance. I'm still not at 100%.

But I am also interested in the social effects of technology. I ordered an [[XO Laptop]] (with my own $$) to play with its user interface and think about the impact it will have on the developing world.
