Julia Chen - After I left, I attended the Independence School (the polar opposite of NCCL) and then after 5th, 6th, and 7th grades there, my family moved to Mississippi, which is home. For the past two school years I’ve actually lived in Columbus where the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science is. It’s a public boarding school that I will be graduating from in 18 days (2006)! In the fall I’m attending Dartmouth College and will be moving up to New Hampshire. Though it seems like I’ve been jumping all over the place, Mississippi really is home to me. Still, NCCL had a big impact on my life too and I wanted to thank you. I honestly attribute a lot of my personality and weirdness to growing up in the NCCL atmosphere. There’s also little things that have been significant, like I’ve never been afraid of snakes because NCCL had Lampro. And...I mean, come on, you guys encouraged me to be an alien, where else could I have gotten that? Nowhere.
