[civsa] Middle School Groups

[Boehm, Andrew]

I do a presentation for a group of local 8th graders every year that's much
more focused on why going to college is important, what they can do now,
etc... There is not much context with some of the bullet points in here.
My favorite portion and one that creates a light moment for the kids is the
"Ice Cream Motivation"... put simply, if they work hard in high school the
college admission process will be like walking into a Basken Robbins, with
31 flavors to choose from.  Struggling in high school will make it more
like getting into your grandma's freezer where she has an old batch of
vanilla that's frozen over... basically talking about the better prepared
you are, the more options you'll have.  If you struggle you won't be able
to choose as many options that can make your college experience more
satisfying.

But anytime I can, I also include a student panel.

Hope this helps,

Andrew
