me and my sweet former student, RR
excited lil FH!
I can hardly talk about this . . .
I've taught EM for 3 years and he has come so far.
I am so proud. And teary-eyed!
I love this pic of my girl, D. I'm gonna miss her something fierce.
post-graduation celebration in front of the school
What a day! And to top everything off . . . as I was driving home yesterday afternoon, I got a call from my boss with some exciting news: we magically got the funding for the 2011-2012 school year, which means that I have a job (!!!) and Balboa's kids with incarcerated family members will still have this program to support them. Yay for justice! And happy Friday to all of you. :)

So awesome!! This post made me so happy, especially considering that I just found out (99% sure, pending passing the Praxis and such) that I'm going to be teaching next year!
And I'm so happy that you're keeping your job. Clearly you're amazing at it, and it would be such a shame for them to lose you because of funding!
Great news! I love reading about your career - it's really inspiring!

Yay! Everything should have a "like" button. Since it doesn't, I am so happy to hear you get to keep your job. It is great news, and it is wonderful that you know now rather than spending your summer in turmoil.
