Senator Carper came to visit our school on Monday, November 23. He came to see Mrs. Pinkston (Delaware's State Teacher of the Year), talk to students about his life as well as answer any questions they had.
As his student tour guide I took him around the school and answered his questions about Brandywine. After a quick meeting in Dr. Thompson's office, I escorted Senator Carper to Mrs. Pinkston's 2nd period class. While there he delivered a quick speech and observed Mrs. Pinkston teaching.
Next stop was the audion where the Student Council had gathered to hear the senator speak. He spoke mainly about he has achieved success in his life and career. He then answered student questions, offering insightful solutions to their concerns.
Overall it was a quick and beneficial visit, and Senator Carper left the Brandywine students with a lot to think about. One thing I found particularly helpful was the senator quoting Thomas Edison, saying "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
