  1. Well I have to brag on my daughter a little.  She encouraged her kids to take part in a scholarship program called Quest.  It’s very rigorous and hard to win.  1700 kids entered throughout the whole country.  One of her students entered and my daughter helped her with essays etc.  Well yesterday she learned her student was a finalist and has won a full four year ride to Yale!  Her student was crying in class. She comes from a low income immigrant family and her dad is incarcerated!  My daughter did research and found a club at Yale that deals with criminal injustice cases and suggested it to her pupil.
    My daughter says after the last year this was such a boost.  She at one point considered quitting teaching but something like this shows she makes a difference. She doesn’t ever take credit for how she helps her kids but last night even she said she felt she had helped change a child’s life!
