A
Hello
and
welcome
to
avid
achievers
I
am
your
host
data.
Rita
coordinator
of
avid
today,
on
avid
achievers,
we
will
celebrate
our
16th
annual
Student
Leadership
Conference
I
am
joined
by
Alexis
Pogue
a
now
ski
avid
teacher,
specialist
and
Kelly
go
forth
avid
site
coordinator
from
North
County
High
School
welcome.
A
The
avid
Student
Leadership
Conference
is
a
collaborative
effort
held
each
year
to
celebrate
student
leaders
in
avid
each
middle
and
high
school
send
representatives
from
their
school
to
represent
their
program
during
the
conference,
sessions
are
held,
which
are
planned,
led
and
attended
by
avid
students
from
across
the
county.
The
16th
annual
Student
Leadership
Conference
was
held
at
Anne
Arundel
Community
College
and
hosted
by
the
students
of
North
County
High
School.
The
theme
of
the
conference
was
challenged,
the
limits
Alexis.
What
is
the
purpose
of
the
Student
Leadership
Conference
sure.
C
Well,
I
think
it's
really
twofold.
In
the
beginning,
the
team
that
hosts
the
school
so
North
County
High
School
students
avid
students
this
year
start
a
whole
year
ahead
of
time
with
getting
the
chance
to
understand
how
to
plan
and
facilitate
such
a
large-scale
event.
So
that's
really
big
for
those
students
and
then
for
all
of
our
other
students
that
get
to
attend
the
conference,
there's
a
bunch
of
different
purposes
for
them.
C
The
fact
that
we
have
it
on
Community
College,
you
know
gives
another
purpose
that
it
gives
students
access
to
a
college
campus
and
to
seeing
what's
that,
what
that
is
like
they
get
to
participate
in
the
auditorium
with
the
opening
session
and
then
see
what
it's
like
to
travel
to
another
building
where
they
lead
their
sessions
to
other
avid
students
in
the
county,
and
then
they
even
get
to
experience
a
lunchroom
setting
before
they
leave.
For
the
end
of
the
day
sounds.
A
B
We
put
a
lot
of
the
planning
onto
our
students,
which
was
really
cool.
Some
of
the
students
had
talked
about
previous
themes
of
the
conferences
and
this
year,
avid
central
theme
was
limitless,
so
we
wanted
to
keep
that
in
mind
when
we
were
picking
our
theme.
We
also
had
our
students
find
like
quotes
that
support
the
challenging
the
limits
or,
like
you
know,
the
limits
that
they
might
encounter.
B
They
then
asked
local
businesses
for
donations
for
our
gift
bags,
so
they
practiced
email
etiquette
with
that.
Our
student
leadership
team
kept
growing
because
kids
saw
other
students
being
leaders
and
they
were
really
excited
like
I
want
to
be
part
of
this,
which
was
really
great.
We
had
a
student
design,
the
t-shirt
we
had,
students
ask
teachers
in
the
building
for
donations.
B
We
had
several
stage
speakers
and
they
practiced
their
what
they
were
gonna
say
in
front
of
a
pretty
big
audience,
probably
the
first
time
they've
ever
spoken
to
that
many
people
before
in
their
lives.
They
also,
we
had
role
leaders,
so
they
would
take
students
to
and
from
classrooms
we
had
lunch
monitors,
who
would
help
hand
out
lunches
and
then
really
just
our
students
came
in
knowing
that
they
were
going
to
participate
in
every
possible
way
and
they
were
excited
about
it.
So
one.
A
B
D
Scholars
you've
been
selected
to
attend
today's
Leadership
Conference,
because
you
have
and
continue
to
demonstrate
individual
determination
in
16
years
of
avid
in
honor
of
county
public
schools.
Many
avid
students
are
inspired
to
work
hard
every
day
toward
being
accepted
into
colleges
and
their
own
personal
successes.
You,
along
with
your
avid
colleagues,
will
leave
high
school
with
the
tools,
skills
and
mindsets
to
prepare
you
to
be
the
innovators
and
leaders
on
the
journey
of
your
choice.
D
Our
avid
students
distinguish
themselves
in
classrooms
all
over
the
county.
You
students,
you
avid
scholars,
set
goals
for
yourselves
and
work
hard
to
achieve
and
exceed
your
goals.
You
make
the
commitment
to
challenge
yourselves
with
more
rigorous
courses.
Every
year
this
year,
82%
of
our
avid
high
school
students
are
taking
honors
level
courses.
D
63%
of
our
avid
students
in
grades,
11
and
12
are
enrolled
in
at
least
one
Advanced
Placement
course,
and
more
than
half
of
avid
students
in
grades
10
through
12
are
enrolled
in
AP
80%
of
avid
eighth
graders
are
already
taking
at
least
one
high
school,
bearing
course
this
year
these
students
will
enter
ninth
grade
already
with
a
credit
on
their
resume.
The
payoff
for
all
the
hard
work
was
recognized
by
last
year's
463,
avid
seniors,
who
earned
more
than
forty
three
point.
Nine
million
dollars
in
scholarship
offers.
A
B
Student
speakers
are
always
my
favorite
part,
I
I
love,
giving
the
kids
the
opportunity
to
tell
their
story
and
then
just
sitting
back
and
listening
to
kids
talk
about
the
impact
that
avid
has
had
on
them.
It's
always
so
exciting,
because
every
story
is
so
different,
but
you
can
feel
it
like.
Within
your
own
avid
students
and
I
love.
Hearing
the
kids
talk
this
year
we
were
joined
by
Cynthia
Okla
from
Meade
high
school,
who
spoke
of
the
influence
on
avid
and
her
career
goals.
E
The
beginning
of
my
fourth
year
and
out
of
it
I
again
to
change
bit
by
bit
every
project
given
to
us
whether
it
was
on
researching
colleges
or
careers.
I
spent
hours
on
it
in
that
year,
I
went
from
my
ideas
will
become
a
businesswoman
to
a
scientist
in
these
topics
they
fit.
My
personality.
I
wanted
worldwide
change,
avid
constant
help
in
allowing
these
students
to
continue
researching
about
their
future
aspirations.
E
I'm
grateful
for
me.
Even
that
spark
was
enough
for
me
to
nurture,
even
though
my
dreams
were
slightly
vague.
Unlike
my
brother
and
sisters,
it
was
enough
for
me
to
choose
electives
and
classes
that
would
allow
me
to
grow
in
that
area
of
biochemical
engineering
and
business
management.
I
had
thought
that
I
was
limited
to
the
way,
I
think
limited
to
my
thoughts
and
ideas,
but
avid
has
taught
me
that
as
long
as
I
keep
my
mind
to
it
and
keep
searching
I
will
overcome
these
limits.
B
F
Challenging
your
limits
means
you
pause
long
enough
to
understand
what
it
is
all
about
before
deciding
what
to
do
for
me
challenging
my
limits
was
overcoming
the
feeling
of
worthlessness
it
took
years
and
the
right
people
in
my
life
to
help
me
overcome
my
so-called
limits.
There
are
7
steps
that
I
have
learned
can
help
anyone
overcome
their
limits.
Step
1
find
someone
to
help
push
you.
This
person
is
my
best
friend.
F
She
saw
me
for
me
and
not
the
person
I
put
on
she
told
me
a
positive
attitude
will
go
far
and
she
always
had
a
smile,
which
I
believe
means
a
lot
step.
2
take
on
a
little
more
than
what
you
think
now.
My
dad
has
always
told
me
plan
for
more
than
what
you
think
and
eventually
you'll
be
able
to
do
it
and
not
only
do
it
but
make
it
look.
Effortless
step
3.
Imagine
reaching
your
next
school
now.
My
mom
has
always
said.
F
If
you
really
visualize
your
goal,
eventually,
it
will
be
complete
in
step.
4,
look
at
how
others
reached
to
where
you
want
to
go
now.
I
don't
know
where
I
want
to
go,
but
I
just
look
around
the
people.
In
my
life
they
are
all
different,
yet
all
the
same,
they
each
have
different
backgrounds,
thoughts,
opinions
and
aspire
to
do
different
things,
but
they
achieve
their
goals
relatively
the
same.
They
all
respect
reflect
on
past
experiences,
missed
opportunities
but
decide.
The
past
has
only
helped
them
to
become
more
successful
and
wise
for
the
time
coming.
F
Step.
5
inspire
yourself
to
action.
Now
this
step
was
the
hardest
for
me.
It
seemed
like
I
almost
didn't
want
to
feel
better.
I
never
wanted
to
make
the
first
step
to
dealing
with
my
feelings.
It
took
until
my
ovid
teacher
last
year
to
tell
me
focus
on
what
you
can
do
and
then
change
it.
Don't
think,
and.
G
Hi,
when
I
think
about
how
I
challenge
the
limits
over
the
years,
I
think
back
to
sixth
grade
when
I
felt,
like
my
ADHD
and
the
transition
to
middle
school
limited,
my
academic
success,
I
enrolled
in
avid
after
being
eager
to
be
more
organized
and
keep
me
on
track
as
I
transitioned
into
sixth
grade
in
sixth
grade
I
struggled
with
developing
the
avid
skills
that
I
needed
to
help
me
succeed.
I
was,
as
my
average
teacher
lovingly
says,
a
hot
verse.
H
G
Seventh
grade,
my
avid
teachers
started
referring
to
me
as
the
avid
poster
child
seriously.
If
you
look
up
avid
in
the
dictionary
you'll
see
my
bright
bouncy
bubbly
smile
goodbye,
this
organization,
good-bye
season,
DS
goodbye,
missed
assignments
and
hello
straight
A's
by
the
second
quarter,
I
had
earned
straight
A's
for
the
first
time,
and
that
has
remained
my
goal
ever
since
avid
to
me
is
being
college
ready
and
working
towards
my
goals.
G
A
It's
always
amazing
to
me
when
the
student
speakers
get
up
there
and
they
speak
with
such
poise
and
such
composure
I
think
about
myself
as
a
middle
or
high
school
student,
looking
out
into
a
crowd
of
for
450
people
and
asking
to
do
anything
I'm,
not
sure
that
I
would
be
able
to
get
myself
together
so
Alexis.
What
is
the
process
for
choosing
these
student
speakers
and
how
are
they
prepared
for
this
event?
Sure.
C
Well,
first
I
have
to
completely
agree
with
you,
because
I
have
to
get
up
at
each
conference
and
speak
for
30
seconds
and
I
am
shaking
and
nervous
and
do
not
feel
poised
and
right
after
I
go
usually
is
when
the
student
speakers
get
up
and
I
truly
the
same
I
marvel
at.
They
just
have
such
confidence
and
to
have
that
in
in
high
school
and
then
even
middle-school.
So
student
speakers
apply.
They
start
their
application
process
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
you
notice
they
send
their
speech
in.
C
So
we
request
those
from
coordinators.
Once
we've
received
all
of
our
speeches
back,
we
get
a
committee
together
who
spend
time
reading
the
scripts,
and
you
know
again,
Kelly
mentioned
how
every
story
is
very
different,
so
I
do
have
to
say
that
every
year
choosing
the
student
speakers
is
incredibly
difficult,
because
every
story
is
important.
They
all
have
their.
C
C
So
they
are
given
a
lot
of
free
rein
but
told
to
try
to
tie
it
into
the
theme.
So
this
year's
theme
being
challenged
the
limits.
That
was
another
thing
that
the
committee
would
look
for
is.
Does
the
speech
tie
into
the
idea
of
taking
a
limit,
challenging
and
then,
of
course,
ultimately
overcoming
that
challenge?
So
I
think
our
three
speakers
that
were
chosen
really
did
a
really
great
job
exemplifying
challenging
the
limits
once
they
were
chosen.
C
I
get
the
privilege
it's
my
favorite
part
of
probably
my
job
throughout
the
whole
year,
it
gets
a
go
out
to
the
schools
meet
the
students.
One-On-One
give
them
a
little
bit
of
an
insight
as
to
what
the
day
will
feel
like
what
the
stage
is.
Gonna
kind
of
look
like
when
they'll
go
up
on
stage
and
that's
when
I
get
to
hear
their
voice
for
the
first
time,
I
get
to
hear
them
practice
their
speech
and
it
can
be
in
different
settings.
C
Sometimes
it's
just
at
first
myself
and
the
speaker,
one-on-one
and
they'll
just
do
a
read-through
with
me
and
that's
really
cool,
because
we
can
pause
and
kind
of
talk
about
different
things.
Other
times,
I've
gone
and
this
year,
our
middle
school
speaker
she
right
away.
We
did
not
do
one-on-one
at
all.
First
I
walked
in.
She
was
standing
at
a
podium
in
her
classroom
at
George,
Fox
and
read
the
speech
flawlessly.
I
knew
she
was
gonna,
be
amazing
and
she
certainly
had
a
lot
of
possess
when
she
spoke.
C
So
that
was
it's
it's
great,
but
we
definitely
practice
with
them.
Helped
them
work
on.
You
know
the
intricacies
of
speed,
giving
a
speech
so
inflection
and
pausing,
and
you
know
waiting
for
applause,
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
again
just
tell
them.
You're
gonna
be
amongst
avid
family
and
it
will
be
comfortable
and
get
up
there
and
they
never
disappoint.
No.
A
B
This
year
we
had
Josh
Carroll
speak.
It
was
really
great
because
he
was
previously
an
avid
teacher
and
an
avid
coordinator.
He
was
on
the
very
first
ever
avid
site
team
and
we've
all
worked
with
him
before,
and
his
passion
for
avid
is
so
obvious.
So
it
was.
It
was
a
great
choice
for
the
kids
to
see
other
adults
that
care
so
much
about
the
program
and
care
so
much
about
students.
B
A
H
H
We
tell
ourselves.
This
is
too
hard.
I
can't
do
it.
I
don't
have
the
time
for
this
Oh.
Someone
is
better
than
me.
How
many
of
you
have
told
yourself
that
sometimes
how
many
of
you
felt
that
way?
Sometimes,
when
you
are
willing
to
remove
that
thought
process
from
your
being,
then
you
will
have
no
boundaries.
You
will
have
no
limits
and
success
will
be
your
only
outcome
so.
C
I
know
I
just
got
done
saying.
The
speakers
are
my
favorite
part,
but
the
sessions
might
be
equally
as
much
my
favorite
part.
The
whole
conference
is
just
amazing,
but
after
the
opening
session
that
is
when
so
immediately
when
it
closes
up,
are
any
student
that
the
presenter
has
to
sort
of
rush
off
and
get
to
the
other
building
or
buildings
where
sessions
sessions
are
being
taken
place.
C
So
they
have
a
couple
of
minutes
to
prepare
to
facility
and
lead
whichever
session
they
have
planned
on
and
then
all
of
our
students
get
a
chance
to
make
their
way
over
and
find
their
sessions,
which
is
in
and
of
itself
an
experience
trying
to
find
an
actual
classroom
on
a
college.
Campus
I
think
it's
a
good,
useful
skill
for
them
later
on,
but
this
is
our
chance
for
our
student
leaders
to
truly
shine
and
they
get
to
run
through
their
sessions
with
peers
and
also
other
avid
staff
throughout
the
county.
So.
C
45
minutes
so
kids
really
have
to
plan
a
true
lesson
and
when
they're
planning
it
they
plan
it
in
mind
with
Wicker.
So
they
ensure
that
they
have
a
writing
inquiry
collaboration
organization
reading
component,
not
to
mention
they
make
sure
to
have
an
opening,
some
sort
of
interactive
activity
and
some
sort
of
closing
in
a
reflection,
so
they're,
truly
putting
together
a
lesson
just
like
our
teachers
would
so.
A
I
agree:
all
of
the
sessions
that
I
saw
were
very
engaging.
My
one
that
I
really
enjoyed
was
by
Mead
high
school.
They
had
a
session
on
like
building
your
self-confidence
and
using
the
resources
of
a
team
to
make
you
more
successful,
and
it
involved
like
a
really
big
Jenga
game
and
some
smaller
Jenga
games
that
they
were
using.
That
one
was
looked
really
fun
to
me
as
a
participant.
Did
you
guys
see
any
sessions
that
you
particularly
enjoy
it
yeah.
C
I
saw
I
believe
it
was
a
Rendell
high
schools
and
they
were
concentrating
on
attributes.
So
when
I
walked
into
the
session,
the
kids
were
very
engaged
in
a
silent,
very
intense
gallery
walk
so
around
the
room
were
posters
with
different
attributes.
Written
and
students.
Were
you
know,
going
around
the
room
and
adding
in
quotes
thoughts,
ideas
that
they
connected
to
that
attribute,
so
that
was
really
great
and
then
it
was
they
were
able
to
use
the
student
facilitators.
They
were
leading
the
session
were
able
to
use
all
that
sort
of
chalk.
C
Talk
throughout
that
gallery
walk
to
facilitate
a
really
great
discussion
on
what
does
it
mean
to
be
passionate?
What
does
it
mean
to
be
committed
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
so
that
session
got
pretty
deep,
I
really
enjoyed
that,
and
there
was
another
session
that
had
to
do
with
stress,
which
I
think
is
incredibly
important.
Our
district
and
our
schools
are
really
getting
into
various
wellness
initiatives
and
in
this
one
students
were
making
their
own
stress
balls
in
addition
to
looking
at
some
different
sort
of
meditation
practices.
B
I
had
time
for
just
one
session:
I
visited
Chesapeake's
challenge
session
and
it
was
a
Socratic
seminar
and
really
the
students
took
over
the
entire.
There
were
three
teachers
in
the
room,
but
we
just
kind
of
sat
back
and
let
the
students
talk
and
I
think
it's
really
powerful
that
it
gives
kids
a
place
where
they
feel
comfortable
talking.
B
B
They
talked
about
challenges
they
encounter
with
race
and
assumptions
and
and
really
like
every
kid
was
participating
and
just
owning
the
conversation
and
I
thought
that
was
so
beautiful
to
give
kids
a
space
that
they
can,
that
they
feel
comfortable
and
confident,
and
you
know
it
didn't,
take
any
prodding
or
anything
from
the
teachers
in
the
room.
We
just
kind
of
watched.
It
happen
and
I
think
that's
a
really
cool
part
of
the
Student
Leadership
Conference
I
love.
A
That
you
used
the
word
confident
because
I
do
think
that
confidence
shows
throughout
the
whole
Leadership
Initiative,
when
the
students
show
up
and
they're
put
in
the
room
with
other
students
that
they
don't
know
from
schools
all
across
the
county.
It
is
really
exciting
to
see
how
quickly
they
begin
to
mesh
and
to
really
talk
in
front
of
each
other
and
take
risks
with
each
other.
It's
really
a
really
special
day.
A
So
after
the
sessions,
the
kids
get
to
have
lunch
converse
with
people
from
different
schools,
which
is
always
fun
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
as
the
person
who
was
the
big
planner
of
the
day,
you
just
get
to
take
a
deep
breath
and
relax
and
be
glad
that
everything
went
off
as
well
as
it
did.
So
when
you
reflect
back
on
that
day,
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
make
you
most
proud
so.
B
I
also
have
several
dance
team
members
in
my
avid
program
and
we
had
five
girls
get
together
and
they
planned
a
entire
flash
mob
that
every
one
of
my
North
County
students
that
came
to
the
Student
Leadership
Conference.
They
learn
these
dance
moves
and
at
first
some
of
them
were
hesitant
and
not
like
too
excited
about
learning
how
to
dance.
B
But
after
a
while,
they
were
really
just
having
so
much
fun
together
and
it's
not
always
typically
the
kids
that
are
always
together,
but
they
have
that
commonality
of
avid,
and
you
could
see
that
in
the
flash
mob
that
happened
in
the
cafeteria
and-
and
you
know
we
just
let
the
dancers
teach
the
their
peers,
how
to
dance,
and
it
was
just
so
cool
to
watch
them
all
come
to
gather
over
something
that
might
not
have
brought
them
together.
In
the
first
place.
That's.
A
C
I
know
it's
going
to
take
place
at
Anne,
Arundel,
Community,
College,
again,
they've
been
incredible
partners
with
us
to
provide
this
amazing
experience
for
our
kids,
and
we
know
it's
gonna
be
hosted
by
a
Glen,
Burnie
high
school
and
I
know.
Planning
is
already
in
the
works,
as
I
was
talking
with
that
coordinator
that
very
day
with
some
ideas
and
questions
and
excitement
for
next
year.
So
we.
