Ravi Sankar to be Honored by the President
posted by Jon Cruz on May 20th, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ravi Sankar of Trinity Preparatory School has been named a United States Presidential Scholar. The Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, “by executive order of the President, to recognize and honor some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts.”
This is one of the very highest honors that can be bestowed upon a high school student. This is also Ravi’s second time being honored by President Bush.

bartlebee. you are reading VBI, meaning you are most likely a nerd as well as are most debaters including myself. If Ravi is a nerd, at least he accomplishes something other than making fun of people who are more sucessful and less cowardly than they.

Last time Ravi went to the White House, the Secret Service forbade him from bringing in a copy of 1984. Congrats, Goofster.

To Bartlebee,
Ravi was involved with teaching SAT classes to kids who couldn’t afford them, and got an award for his outstanding volunteer service. So before you start making ridiculous comments on VBD, please at least get your facts straight.

to bartlebee,
get something better to do than just make stupid comments online. Maybe if you were more of a nerd, you could meet the president and not simply mock other people. Congrats Ravi.
