2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 2015 Help AHS junior get to Stanford ‘How do you feel about the cruise ships starting to arrive again this week?’ “I think that’s excellent. It supports the community, and puts Astoria on the map, and helps motivate continued improvement of the town.” Ken Rislow, Astoria “Good for the economy. No doubt. What’s good for the economy is good for everybody. Seems like a good thing — tourism is money.” Robert Casey, Astoria Morgan Postlewait, a ju- nior and an honors student at Astoria High School, was recently accepted into the Stanford University’s High School Summer College program, which places stu- dents from around the world at the prestigious university for summer quarter. But she needs the community’s help paying her way to Palo Alto, Calif. “I am very excited about this opportunity,” Postlewait said. “This experience will go beyond helping me get into the top universities; it will also make me more suc- cessful ßonce I am there. I am ready for and need this opportunity for this aca- demic challenge. Without Morgan Postlewait attending Stanford High School Summer Program, I fear I am not competitive enough to gain admission for undergraduate studies to the schools of my dreams, such as Stanford and Harvard. The drawback to the pro- gram, she added, is the cost, about $15,000. She’s re- ceived scholarships through Stanford and from Astoria High School Scholarship Inc., along with contri- butions from family and friends. As of Tuesday, Pos- tlewait had more than $2,200 left to raise through her online fundraiser at www. gofundme.com/morgantos- tanford Only 550 of at least 5,000 applicants were offered ad- mission to this program. According to Astoria High School Principal Lynn Jackson, “Morgan is a spe- cial student and has been extremely proactive in her education. She has con- tinually sought additional learning opportunities and has not shied away from an academic challenge. We are very excited for Mor- gan and know she will represent our community well.” “I want to be a doctor,” Postlewait said. “I want to heal people and spend time overseas helping those who don’t have readily available access to health care. We are all people. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what you look like. We all get sick. I want to help.” For more information on the Stanford High School Summer College program, visit summercollege.stan- ford.edu/about Stand-up Paddle event is Saturday The next Stand-up Pad- dle meet-up is at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Netul Landing by Fort Clatsop.
