CLHS is invited to Obama Foundation Summit

Through our partnership with SocialWorks Chicago, we were fortunate enough to be invited to the Obama Foundation Summit at UIC. A few of our students shared their thoughts:

What I got from Obama foundation summit is that we all should be united for one cause. All of us that were there were the future of this generation. We saw many great people there. Great leaders of this country and city. I saw the United States 44th president Barack Obama. We also saw his wife Michelle Obama that came from Chicago. A great leader that has given back to this city Chance The Rapper. They are all an inspiration for us young leaders to do greater things. We should all do and follow their examples and try to change the atmosphere in this city. I believe we can all make a change by uniting and stepping up.

The Obama Foundation Summit was so fun! We got see the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama, the First Lady Michelle Obama, Chance the Rapper, and many more well known world leaders and entertainment icons who want to make a change in the city of Chicago. They all gave emotional and motivating speeches that made us hopeful. There was also music all night to celebrate all the positive things that the people of Chicago are receiving. It was definitely an experience that I will always remember and that I'm sure everyone who attended enjoyed.
