Our time is coming to a close. Our leaders will carry on.

It's been days full of presentations, singing songs, telling stories, and recapping our two together here on the Stanford campus. We had a UN GA Summit, where the students represented Sweden, South Africa, Tanzania, Romania, India, Bolivia, Brazil, and China. Perhaps they will submit their solutions for international problems, and be our next global leaders. We had a busy afternoon packing up, talking story and getting ready for our departure. After a bus ride on the Marguarite into Palo Alto, we ventured down University Avenue to Il Fornaio restaurant where we sat at one long table and feasted on fresh bread, and pasta. The evening concluded with certificates of completion for each student and special awards for our outstanding leaders.
The house is full of excitement tonight as Jane plays my ukulele, singing new  songs..( her piano playing has kept us captive the entire time) . Leopold, Shelby, Erin and Sama make a fort under the bunkbeds...Zoe, Perry, Lauren, Kirsten, Sashmita, Haley and Genie camp out in the hallway telling stories, Alex G helps with our computer tech questions, and the three stooges- Leo, Alex D. and Teddy get their room back into one piece. Everyone has been incredible. We all had a good time..
   Tomorrow we are off to the airport and it will be grand send off. Thanks for sending us such great students, the new leaders of tomorrow.... we have forged a new pioneer program and we couldn't have done it without everyone's help and input. Keep your heart on your servant leadership and remember all the great lessons we have all learned.
   See you all soon- keep in touch and join our Facebook Leadership Academy page...
