The past few weeks of stressful planning, dress and shoe shopping, and last-minute scheduling changes have finally paid off this weekend at Liberty High School’s senior prom. The group of 36 excited seniors that I was in boarded party buses from Frisco, stopping first for pictures and dinner, then heading to the W Hotel in Victory Park, Dallas for the dance. It was an unforgettable night filled with laughs, memories, and, I’ll admit, an excessive amount of pictures. Some other unique opportunities came up this week, including a call with a state representative regarding my final product, a DECA-sponsored Dallas Stars game and Q&A with the businessmen and women behind the sports scenes, and an information session for DFW-area Berkeley freshmen admits. Thanks to Dr. Gerlacher, I was able to have a brief conversation over the phone on Monday with State Representative Pat Fallon, who represents parts of the nearby Denton County, in which I proposed my final product idea of a public policy proposal to bring low-cost and efficient healthcare services to rural Texas through telemedicine. I am so grateful that Representative Fallon was able to take time out of his busy schedule to provide feedback and constructive criticism regarding my final product. The next day, Liberty HS DECA members and I went to the Dallas Stars vs. Avalanche hockey game at the American Airlines Center. I always look forward to the annual DECA sponsored sports games, because in addition to the entertaining games, there are also opportunities to hear from the business people behind the sports franchises. Then, on Saturday afternoon before prom, my mom and I attended a UC Berkeley information session for students in the Dallas area. It made me excited for the potential of a college experience in San Francisco, and made me realize how difficult it will be to make my final college decision by May 1st. Hopefully, my experience at Cal Day on the UC Berkeley campus in two weeks will help me decide where I want to spend my next four years!
