This morning (27 July), the MaP community bid farewell to Harvard scholars Ms Genevieve Le Fevre, Ms Ruiqi He, Ms Haley Langan and Mr Brian Lai, who have been with us for eight weeks on an internship. During their time here, the group immersed themselves in the MaP community, teaching classes, facilitating SAT preparatory sessions, and hosting games for the school community. Katlego Paakanyo (U6) shares how their presence has made a true impact on the school below:
”I went around asking MaP students to describe our wonderful Harvard interns with a song title. Some of the responses I got were Treasure by Bruno Mars, Happy by Pharell Williams, The Greatest by Sia and my personal favorite, Michael Jackson’s You Rock My World. Ms He, Mr Lai, Ms Langan and Ms Le Fevre, thank you for being part of the MaP community. We appreciate the time you took to interact with and get to know us. We will forever hold the conversations we had about music, science, university life and food in the USA.
Being a student isn’t always easy and you have taught us to have fun with it. Through your interactive and slightly exaggerated discussions & SAT prep sessions, you helped us believe that we can be part of the 5.4% who get accepted into Harvard. The boys in the Boys Boarding House (BBH), especially Tshepang Dipholo (U6), are thankful for the meal time conversations about engineering and stereotypes.
We have had some fun times: Ms Fevre’s performance at Tutti e Soli, Ms He’s skit at the Creative Borders Collective showcase, and how Ms Langan put so much love and passion into learning Setswana. You fell in love with MaP and MaP loved you back! You are a part of the MaP community and you will always be welcome.
On behalf of the students, and in the words of Winnie the Pooh, ”how lucky we are to something that makes saying goodbye so hard”. We wish you all the best in your future and you will be sorely missed.
