Austin has been participating in high school extra curricular activity known as the 'Mock UN'. During their meeting they discuss/debate world events and propose their collective responses to world issues. It has made him very much aware of events that lie beyond our borders. His capacity in this endeavor is the ambassador/representative from China.
Next week, a contingent of Chinese students are stopping at Patriot High School on a tour of the United States. Young Austin has been chosen to speak to them and explain our educational system at a student-to-student level. The topics include discussions about the US high school experience and in particular the Spanish language programs. These students do not speak English and his speech will be translated in real time.
To say that he is excited/nervous/eager for next week is an understatement.
