New York in the Summer

I have spent several hours assembling an application to attend a summer institute in New York to study the Holocaust. It would be for two weeks. This application has taken more time than I thought it would. More importantly I am surprised by the thoughts that I have been having. For example, what did many of the survivors use for hope to make it through the atrocities that occurred?
The running, hiding, running again, etc. The constant fear of being found. Just the constant fear of everything. I cannot imagine the fear of a parent of young children. Children will still be children. Sometimes, they just won't listen. What would a parent do? It has definitely been a bit eye opening. The application is due in the mail by Friday, but I won't know if I get accepted to the institute until sometime in March. I think it will be a lot of fun.
There are 4 parts to the application process. There is a 2 page application, a resume that cannot be longer than 3 pages, an essay that cannot be more than 4 pages, and 2 letters of recommendations. When I saw the resume couldn't be more than 3 pages. I'm thinking in my head, "What? 3 pages. I only have 1. Maybe I'm not smart enough or something? The essay has to answer several questions. I will finish the essay tomorrow and then get in the mail. Wish me luck!!! If nothing else...Good Luck Bartman
Have a great day all ya' all!!!
