Here is a letter from Taru Thompson - a former Saturday Leadership Academy Student.

Hello 100,

I know I've been out of touch for quite some time, but I was quite recently reminded by my mom that I should check-in.School is great. I like New York and I like St. John's. It was one of my better decisions to venture out of state for my college experience.

My major is Adolescent Education with a concentration in math so I'll either be teaching in a Middle or High School. I do a lot of community service in my spare time. Most involves working with my middle school children in math. My grades have been amazing exempting a summer class I took. Other than that class I've had A's, A-'s, and 1 B+. My cumulative GPA is 3.61.
