My name is William Michael Chavis. I reside in Fayetteville, North Carolina in which I am a rising Senior at Westover High School (c/o 00). For this past school year I obtained the highest scholastic average in Algebra/Trig Honors and Chemistry 1 Honors. I am now attending the Summer Ventures in Mathematics and Science Program at UNC-Charlotte. I am really enjoying every aspect of this program. The campus life, atmosphere, and the diversity all help to make this program the success it has been for the past 5 days. In the SVSM program I am enrolled in the Combinatorial Math Games class. Even though this class is something I never expected I actually enjoy taking the challenge. I am also proud that I have been selected for SVMS because it was only two people from my school elected to go. My goals for the future include graduating from high school and being accepted to UNC-Chapel Hill or Howard University. I am taking Discrete Math Honors and AP Chemistry and AP Physics next school year.
My name is YoRonda Jones and I am 15 years old. I live in Greenvile, North Carolina and attend J.H. Rose High School. I will be a rising junior. I am a very athletic person. I play volleyball, basketball, and softball. I am enjoying myself here at Summer Ventures. I have made a lot of friends and we do a lot of things together. I would encourage many people to come to the program. I think they would enjoy it just like me.
What to say??? I’m a rising junior who choose to spend my summer in a classroom studying math. That’s got to tell you something. So far Summer Ventures has been an enlightening experience that has exposed me to an entirely different type of mathematics. How exciting! And that must be balanced with the social aspects. I’ve had great fun making new friends and getting to know what Charlotte and UNC-C have to offer. I don’t expect any disappointments with the program. I plan on having a great summer.
My name is Amy Rose Swanger, I am 16 years old and reside in Crabtree, a section of Clyde , North Carolina. I am a rising junior at Tuscola High School and as of now I am wanting to pursue a career in interior design. I have found the curriculum at SVSM challenging and often time consuming.I find the after-class activities here very fun.There are a diverse group of people here that are smart and fun and I have enjoyed being around them very much.
