IC Student from Northern Uganda Wins Scholarship to Boise State University
April 1st, 2008Here’s the IC press release; here’s how it went down:
Today, a press conference was held to announce the selected student that would receive a scholarship to attend Boise State. Temperatures rose as students, parents and press gathered in IC’s meeting room. The fans weren’t operational due to a broken switch (it’s in logistics pipe line). Geoffrey Howard built the suspense with a detailed explanation of the scholarship, the Kelly family and IC’s participation. Temperatures continued to rise, students began to fan themselves. Geoffrey handed over the announcing of the congratulatory to Houston. “Thank you all again for coming” said Houston. “It is my pleasure to announce Acii Nancy…BAM, she passes out cold. Everyone stares in an awkward state of disbelief.
Ten minutes later, Acii Nancy comes too, but she is still in shocked (and a little embarrassed). Her mentor Patricia consoles her as everyone waits to hear her decision. Will she accept or decline this once in a lifetime opportunity? She starts to shake her head, everyone holds their breath thinking she won’t accept. Patricia leads Acii Nancy from the meeting room to discuss the reality of what has been offered to her.
Thirty minutes later, Acii Nancy (after meeting with Patricia and Geoffrey Howard) ACCEPTS! Boise State Broncos here we come!
