Hi Susan,

…I was just thinking about Concord, how I was looking at the incoming

freshmen, and how I was a freshman myself once. I cannot tell you how much

have grown throughout my time at Concord. I came there with an open mind,

and now I feel I have learned so much and can really appreciate the difference

inside myself in the last 3 years.

I feel that I was so little and immature when I came to Concord, and throughout

my time there, my experiences and lessons (not only academically, but how I

relate to the world and other people) have changed. It has been such a

beautiful place to spend these years, and it has been a great challenge to push

myself to the highest of my abilities. I look at the incoming freshmen, who, for

the most part, have open and young minds just as I had.

I m making a scrapbook of my years during high school so I can note my

changes and remember - it's kind of my own yearbook, for myself and for my

future children - and a large part of it is about how Concord affected me. My

styles changed, my mind expanded, I went through a number of stages; it's just

been so great.

So, to wrap this up, I love your school and all the opportunities you've given

me, and I hope so many more kids can have that same experience.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Chelsea Spann
