Welcome (back) to the La Voix du LILA – Burbank podcast.
If you have yet to experience one of our weekly podcasts this year, definitely do not miss out on today's as it is a special one and full of meaningful content. We are joined in the studio by members of our student leadership team Talia W. (12IB, ASB President) and Eena O. (12IB, ASB Vice President and Peer Mediation President) along with Cinjin H. (9 FB).
Talia and Eena brought us up to speed on their plans as they relate to the 2020/2021 ASB and they remain hopeful that the ASB will be able to offer some special programming as we progress into the school year. Unfortunately, due to the current format of school, the normal activities are being amended and a lot of thought is being considered in how to adjust accordingly.
Talia and Eena also provided meaningful insight on how they are both approaching college applications based on their goals and aspirations. Their insight is incredibly valuable for any student or parent to hear regardless of what grade level you are currently at LILA. If you are interested in hearing from the voices of our students, be sure to have a listen.
In addition to being a student at LILA, Cinjin H. is also an aspiring actor who recently was recognized for a PSA he was a part of which received an Emmy. Cinjin joins us to speak about his involvement with the project as well as offer a deeply passionate point of view on charity work and its importance.
This week's podcast (Episode 6 SY20/21):
