I can't believe I'm going home tomorrow. This has been the best experience of my life. I've meet new friends that I'm sure I'm going to keep in touch with. I really got to see what college life was like. I can honestly say Loyola is one of the top colleges that I will look into when it's time for me to apply. I've meet so many nice people and I will really miss them and the funny moments we shared. I love you Chicago, but I think it's time to go home and brag to everybody about my experience.

Road to Loyola
Hey all! Our names are Raquel Anderson and Neosha Hampton. We've been accepted to the Loyola Precollege Summer Program, and are looking forward to six weeks of new and exciting classes in the heart of Chicago. However, our scholarships do not cover all expenses of attending, so we need your help to fundraise the remaining $10,000. So make sure to follow our blog for frequent updates as we take in the experience and thank you for making it a reality!

The end is NEAR!
I have Thursday and Friday and then home. I will miss everyone and the experience! Today was finals for me and I'm confident that I passed. My final essay is due tomorrow and I'm positive that I passed both of my classes and have six college credits. Yay! I will cry when I leave, but it is going to feel good going home! I am ready for high school because college has taught me that I have a lot of growing up to do.

Whew!
We are approaching the end and I'm so sad. I don't want to leave AT ALL! I love it here and this has been a really exciting week. I managed to earn a B+ on my exam and I met one of my favorite actors! I also played laser tag! Everything is falling into place here. I know college is what's best for me after high school and I definitely don't want to take a year off! I'm ready to jump into the college life! Let's do it!

Gosh!
It's almost time to go home in ten days! I still have three exams and one final paper to write. but I'm excited to be doing so. I love being here. I don't want to leave but every good thing comes to an end. It's hard to express how I feel, but I like the feeling. I can't explain how thankful I am for this experience and it is something I will never forget!

Late Night Post!
I could go on and on about the challenging academics and how the courses are demanding me to strive and do my best but I won't. This trip is about academics but also about getting a feel of how college life is and that means connecting with new people. I have met a couple of friends here and I believe we are going to become life long friends. We have bonded and joked around but also discussed serious topics. It's epic. I don't want to leave the people and this lifestyle but I'm totally looking forward to it in the future.
