Tonight we participated in the November DADYO meeting at Jesuit. DADYO stands for "Dallas area Diversity Youth Organization" and the members are students from local private schools including UA, Jesuit, ESD, Parish Episcopal, Hockaday, St. Marks and Greenhill. It's a fantastic organization and it's always fun to make new friends. Tonight the topic was "The American Dream"and students discussed the impact of circumstances that one is born into as well as the impact of the choices we make. After a casual pizza dinner and a little socializing (of course!), the students gathered in small groups and discussed the topic as well as what it feels like to be part of the "mainstream" vs. "the fringe." The discussions were intense and emotional but never without humor and voices of support. It was great to see so many Ursuline girls at the meeting and we remind all UA students that everyone is welcome at DADYO. We will actually host the next meeting of DADYO on January 12 at UA from 6-8 pm- mark your calendars!
