Students of MIPA

August 6, 2014 by Megan Pisarczyk Leave a Comment

Inspired by the “Humans of New York” project run by Brandon Stanton, five MIPA participants were randomly selected and shared some facts about themselves. They also contributed their favorite song to go along with the Mipapalooza music-based theme. This is a follow up to the first and second Students of MIPA posts from Aug. 4, 2014 and Aug. 5, 2014.

“My sister sent co-brownies with me so I could make friends, but I’ve eaten the majority of them by myself. A co-brownie is a brownie with Kit-Kat in the middle and cookie dough to top it off. I still have a bag full of co-brownie crumbs incase anyone wants to be friends.”
