The AVID Induction

The AVID Induction was one of the most beautiful inductions I ever experienced. I expected the induction to be like a talk where important people come to talk and then everybody goes to their various homes. The AVID scholars were all looking formal and the AVID 12 scholars looked colorful in the colors of their houses. 

The ceremony started with an opening remark by Ms. Grosser and the Opening Speech followed by Mr. Sam Mustipher. The heads of houses were then introduced. They were Mr. O'Connor for The House Of Prometheus, Mrs. Dauka for The House Of Hyperion, Mrs. Owens for The House Of Themis, and Mr. Carney for The House Of Atlas. This was followed by the introduction of the AVID 12 scholars according to their houses. The names of the about-to-be-inducted AVID scholars were sorted into their different houses and the induction took place. Candles were lit and the torch of perseverance was passed on. I also took part of the induction because I was the only 12th grader who has not been inducted. 

The part I loved the most was the part which all of the AVID family took an oath, my favorite saying was, 'I will act now!!!'. The parents took turns in taking oaths promising their daughters that they (the parents) would lead them in the right way. 

The raffle draw took place after this. Two lucky people won the fabulous prizes. I wished I had participated in the draw. Maybe I would have won the notepad. *smiles*. That night was a memorable one and I hope I see more of nights like that, all thanks to Dona, Mr. Carney, and the the other AVID site team, they made they night a huge success.
