Haicheng Charles Zhao of Fairfax Station, a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, was selected to participate in a seven-week international leadership camp, Camp Rising Sun, this past summer. It has been “a life changing experience” for him, so much that he has decided to work harder during school years to keep future summers open to explore opportunities like this. I hope more young people and their parents know about and benefit from wonderful programs like this.
