Good day Mr. Willigerod,

How are you?  It has been a while since I've last emailed you.  Please do
forgive me for the lack of communication on my part.

At any rate, this semester has been the most hectic semester since I began
this quest.  I must admit though that the time is going by pretty quickly.
We are more than half way through the semester.  In fact, I recently
registered for classes for the Spring 2009 semester.

I am currently registered for the following classes, which will being in the
Spring 09 semester:  MGT 414- Creativity & Innovation,  FIN 300- Corporation
Finance, MGT 301W- Entreprenuership/SM Bus Dev (An intensive writing
course), MGT 305- Organizational Behavior, and MIS 361- Production and Operations Management.

Besides my busy schedule, everything is going smoothly including my classes.
Winter is just around the corner and the temperature is getting colder and
colder day by day.

I will be sure to forward you my grades for the Fall 2008 semester as soon
as I get them.  Final exams are scheduled for the 3rd week in December and
I'll be sure to do my best.  Please do greet the Rotary Club on my behalf.
Thank you (as well as the entire Rotary Club) for the opportunity as well as
the blessing you (the Rotary Club) have bestowed upon me. Have a wonderful
day and God bless.

Respectfully submitted,

Kershen

Good day Mr. Willigerod,

It is indeed a pleasure to hear from you. I do hope that the recent of your
office went smoothly.

The classes that I am am taking for the summer includes Management and
Organization (MGT 300), and U.S. Political Thought (PSC 140).

These two courses are considered to be W* courses, which are very intensive
writing courses.

I must say that the weather is improving and summer time is right around the
corner. I am definitely hoping that I can make it down to St. John in
August, but I will be sure to keep you up to date with that.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Kershen

As usual I'm doing great.  Two weeks ago I had midterms and my fingers are still crossed as I await the results.  Spring break was from March 9 - 16th, and boy did it come a great time.  It was a perfect way for me to unwind after midterms.  I actually spent Spring break in Maryland with my sister and spent my days touring Washington, D.C.  I went to the Botanical Garden, and the SmithsonianMuseums just to name a few. 

 

The great news is I've been nominated by one of my ROTC Instructors to attend a Pilot Project for ROTC Strategic Languages and Cultures Program at IndianaUniversity.  If accepted by the committee I will be at IndianaUniversity in Bloomington, Indiana from June through August studying Russian.  Russian was my language of choice.  If you would like more information on it I provided the link below

I have six more weeks until I take final exams.  I am counting down until school finishes and can't wait to be back home. 

 

I hope things are running smoothly with you and the club.  Please give everyone my love.

 

Sincerely,

 

Claudia Verdant

Good day Mr. Willigerod,

It is but my pleasure to keep you as well as the Rotary Club updated on my academic progress. The Spring 2008 semester has just begun and is in full swing.

I did very well for the Fall semester, which just passed. At this present moment, I am taking 5 classes, which are Calculus, English Literature, Journalism, Accounting and Philosophy. I must say that is seems as though that I have my plate full for this semester.

The weather has been bitterly cold for these past few days. Besides the weather, everything is going great thus far and I will always be sure to keep you updated.

Take care and God bless,

Kershen

Good day Mr. Willigerod, and how are you?

It has been a while since we've last email each other.  Everything is going
good with me, and I can't complain.

We are in the spring season, and today is very rainy. As of now,
registration has begun for the Fall 2007 semester.  I am also planning on
taking a summer class over the summer. Besides all of that, the weather is getting warmer and I do look forward to it.

Take care, and share my love with the Rotary Club!
I am planning to return to St. John after the summer sessions have ended.
I am not sure as to when I will becoming, but I am hoping to spend a week.  I will definitely keep you posted.

I do look forward in sharing my experiences with you all.

Good day Mr. Willigerod,
     How are you doing?  As for me, everything, including school is coming along pretty well.  I am still adjusting to the weather which is fascinating to me because I have never been in 45 degrees before.  Just a few days ago there was frost on the grass everywhere.  I will continue to keep you update on my progress and I continue wtih school.

As a matter of fact, I just completed my midterm exam for Macroeconomics.  I know that I did very good on it.  Well, tell everyone (Rotary Club Family) hello for me and take care.  We will keep in touch.  Farewell for now.....

Good day Mr. Willigerod, and how are you?  Thanksgiving is right around the
corner and I know you guys will be enjoying yourselves. As for me, I am fine
and I am also starting to settle in with my new enviroment.
I've made several friends so far and I will be enjoying myself for the
Holiday season. 

The school semester is going pretty well and I've just registered for
classes for the next semester 2 days ago. I also had an exam for my
Macro-economics class on Monday. It was well handled.
     
As for weather, it is not too cold but it has been raining all week long.
Other than that, I can't wait to see the snow. Well, tell everyone hello for
me and I will be giving you a call in the near future. Take care.

Good day Mr. Willigerod, and how are you? As for me, everything is good so
far and classes are now in full swing. For the past few days it has been
rather cold like in the mid 20s.  Today, the wind chill is approx.
11 degrees.  Besides that, my classes are great and I'm currently taking
Math, Zoology, Composition, Visual Programming which is a computer science
course, and Microeconomics. Give everyone my love and take care.
