REFLECTION PROVIDED BY AVESON SENIOR, JAKE FERNANDEZ
Aveson Global Leadership Academy, among other high schools, attended a lunch at the Beverly Hotel to hear our 42nd President Bill Clinton answer questions and engage in a variety discussions. We were situated pretty far back so we watched a TV in order to enhance our view of the proceedings. The way the lunch was set up was not what I expected. Instead of just Bill Clinton delivering a speech or answering questions straight to the audience, he was joined on the stage by another gentlemen who would ask him his opinions and stance on certain political agendas. It all felt more natural and intimate than just listening to someone speak for an hour. As soon as he started talking, I was overwhelmed with how well-spoken and intelligent he was. He delivered every answer with resounding confidence and credibility that not only answered the question at hand, but transitioned into new areas of discussion. He was a very humble man that’s easy to listen to and enjoy. It was a very rewarding experience and I’m glad my fellow classmates and I got to attend.
