Poptech is a program that runs once a year. It brought me and my dad together and made him proud of me. I was showing him that I was smart and I built it up, block after block. Day after day. Maybe I'll ever be as smart as him, when I'm his age. Maybe I'll even make it into Harvard. I'm confident that I will.
After we had finished listening to an actor, the writer, and a scientific advisor to the movie "Contagion" talk about their movie and their making, my sisters wanted to leave. My mom took them back to the motel and my dad and I stayed to watch a film about surrogating (http://film.economist.com/film/made-in-india, by the way this is not the full film, just a review). I loved the film and at the end got to talk to the Vaishali Sinha, one of the makers of the movie. She had worked with one other person, but she wasn't present at the time or at PopTech at all.
I had felt pretty tired, but I'm glad that I stayed and watched the movie until 10:30 when I had the chance. He was proud of me and I was happy that he was proud and that he had spent a good amount of time just with me.
