Admitted students day (and hosting two prospies)

This weekend was admitted students day for the class of 2015, and I served as an overnight host for two prospective students.  One from Stillwater, MN and another from Kansas.  When I mentioned that I am a part of American Conversations, they had a lot of questions and it was hard to explain exactly what we have done for almost two semesters.  I showed them my blog along with DeAnne's, but that wasn't enough.  In short, I said that it was a discussion-based exploration of Democracy from the start of American history up until the present.  Above all else, I tried to express my love of the program and subject matter without resorting to typical admissions cliches.  I guess I'm still in the process of understanding American Conversations.
