I attended the Center for Talented Youth, or CTY, in the summers of 1996 and 1997. The nine weeks (in total) that I spent there had a great effect on my life. They gave me new senses of self-confidence both socially and academically, and they introduced me to friends that I still hold dear. I cherish all of my memories, of classes where I learned amazing things, and of friends, with whom I spent some of the best times of my life.

There already are many CTY sites on the Internet. Although I'd love to add to the congestion, I don't think I have anything new to add. Rather, I'd like to point people to all the other resources out there about this wonderful summer camp.

On a closing note, I'd like to say "hi" out there to everyone I met at camp, both those with whom I'm still in contact and those who I've lost touch with. Please write to me!
