In a few minutes I will drive to Carter High School for the last time as the facilitator of the Academic Success Program. This notion leads me to post a few words about my students.Yesterday, we said our goodbyes as we all head in a different direction toward a new beginning. One will go West (Occidental College), one will go to the Midwest (Illinois Institute of Technology), some will go to the Northeast (Babson College, Syracuse University, Dartmouth), and some of us will stay local (SFA, UTA, The University of Texas, Texas Law).
These students have risen above expectations to accomplish their own personal goals. The strength and resolve they have shown compels me to continue following my dreams as well.
My trip to Central America is in many ways inspired by and for my students at Carter High School.
