“Excellent. It's a pleasure to have you joining us, and really from across, I think, the entire district, right, from every corner. I hope you've been able to learn quite a bit. I hope we've encouraged you to either go into education or maybe even public service. Hopefully we haven't discouraged it. But either way, as a high school counselor, I say it's always great for you to just explore and be exposed to different career paths. that you might appreciate. So I hope you've had a wonderful opportunity this summer.”
