00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:07.680
I love Phipps.

2
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.520
I mean, it's my favorite place
to go in the city.

3
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.641
My journey with Phipps started
in my junior year of high

4
00:00:13.641 --> 00:00:14.000
school.

5
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:17.495
Talking to my sophomore
chemistry teacher, she knew that

6
00:00:17.495 --> 00:00:20.560
I really cared about the
environment and everything.

7
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.738
So she was like, this really
cool program is happening at

8
00:00:23.738 --> 00:00:24.600
Phipps this year.

9
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.840
It's the first year that they're
holding this program.

10
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:30.293
It's called the Youth Climate
Advocacy Committee, and I think

11
00:00:30.293 --> 00:00:31.520
that you should sign up for it.

12
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:35.057
It has led to so many
opportunities for me and I'm

13
00:00:35.057 --> 00:00:36.440
just so grateful for it.

14
00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:39.994
And I'm grateful to have the
connection with Phipps because

15
00:00:39.994 --> 00:00:43.311
even if you only do one year of
YCAC and that's it, the

16
00:00:43.311 --> 00:00:45.800
connection with Phipps is still
the same.

17
00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:51.011
Like they will always be there
for you to support your projects

18
00:00:51.011 --> 00:00:52.640
or your aspirations.

19
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.314
Like you can always just have a
connection there, even just to

20
00:00:56.314 --> 00:00:59.405
shoot a quick e-mail and ask a
question or ask for a

21
00:00:59.405 --> 00:01:00.280
recommendation.

22
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.929
It's just really, it's a really
nice connection to have because

23
00:01:03.929 --> 00:01:06.040
it's such a big place in
Pittsburgh.

24
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.337
So as soon as you get a
recommendation from someone

25
00:01:08.337 --> 00:01:09.840
there, it's it really stands
out.

26
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:12.000
It has definitely changed my
life.
