Once again I woke up feeling paranoid about getting late to the dinner and excited about meeting my cohort members, alumni, and sponsors. I anxiously waited for the school day to end and quickly headed home and got dressed for the dinner. My mom and I carpooled with Don to the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station, where some ILCers and their parents and Tiffani Neal, my cohort chaperone, were already waiting. Once everyone arrived, we entered the BART station.
While waiting for the BART train to arrive, we introduced ourselves and began conversing with one another. I chatted with Madeline Kronenberg about th program I will be doing over the summer.
Soon, the BART train to San Francisco arrived. In the BART train, I got to talk to other cohort members and their parents. Everyone was introducing themselves and expressing their excitement for the dinner and the summer.

After walking a short distance from the BART station, we arrived at the elegant One Market. Two attendants escorted us to our assigned room. Everyone huddled into small groups and began mingling with each other. As the alumni arrived, they began joining the groups.
While enjoying the snacks, I began talking to Erin, her mother, and Mahi. Soon Jonathan Speed, an alumnus, arrived and joined our group. He shared very interesting information about Brown and his experience at Brown.
Soon the two sponsors: Mike Terry and Mary Morris arrived. I only got the opportunity to talk with Mike Terry. We had an interesting conversation about social media and how technology shapes our lives today.
After the alumni and sponsors arrived, everyone sat down in their assigned seats in tables of six.
Two alumni: Andrea Llenos and Paul Sednaoui joined me, my mother, Gabrielle, and her mother at a dinner table. Soon after we introduced ourselves, the reception began.
Madeline Kronenberg began the reception by having everyone introduce themselves. The alums shared their most favorite thing about Brown. Mahi beautifully presented her ideas, aspirations, and gratefulness to the Ivy League Connection. Jonathan Speed spoke about the growth and uniqueness of Brown. Alice Pineiro concluded the reception by sharing her personal experiences at Brown and making me feel even more excited about my trip to Brown.

The serving of the dinner was initiated with dinner rolls and a Lark Creek Caesar Salad. After the refreshing salad, the main course was served. A Duo of Fresh Market Sorbets was served in the desert. I had kiwi and strawberry flavored sorbets with a thin cookie on the side. The desert looked beautiful and was delicious.
In the dinner, Andrea Llenos and Paul Sednaoui shared their experiences at Brown. We had an interesting conversation about how things have changed for them after graduating from Brown. I become very inspired by their experiences and success.

The dinner quickly ended and we took group pictures. Then we all headed home with lots of memories of a great dinner.
