Ambassadors

The concept of “student ambassadors” has always baffled me. I think that overall, it is a great program, but I really just don’t understand why kids have to be put through the ringer just to give tours and memorize some facts. Now that I think about it, I bet that if you gave me some little senior in high school and asked me to give them a tour of the school that I could probably pull it off. I mean who really cares what year the PAC was built anyway? All you need to know is how the school works, where things are, and what services are offered. What really gets me though is what it takes to become an ambassador. It should be a reality television show. Its basically the same thing as Survivor. Except like they’re allowed to eat. And they don’t get bit by mosquitoes. I had a friend who lived in my dorm freshman year that is now an ambassador. I remember all the ridiculous stuff he had to do, like write pretend speeches for pretend people and memorize them. And at the end of the week the ambassador elders vote someone off the ambassador tribe. Its weird. Hm, the lengths some people go to for scholarships
