"You weren't born a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes." ~ Annie Lamott
This was a quote posted on Facebook by my good friend Margot Page and it fits this heartwarming video. He. Is. Adorable!
I was early to class and had some speakers with me which inspired Mr. Bustamove. After he finished he took a look at me, as I was melting in the heat and ran and got a fan. Three boys then got to work to plug it in and aim it directly at me. I am in love with these kids. They keep me after class asking for more English help and practicing what they know. How will I leave? That question is beginning to grow louder with each passing day. I am meeting today with the Director of the Sponsorship Program. Can't wait to find out more.
I have just caught up with your blog posts Patti . . . . sooooo inspirational! In fact - as Maddie leaves for a 5 day camping trip with the BBA MT Campus tomorrow morning - i have printed out your entire blog for her to take with her to read on her 2 day solo trip (along with the book Wild). The intention of the solo (2 nights and a day with only a tarp for shelter and only herself for company!) is to reflect on what she's learned and what the future holds for her. She wants to do a gap year involving volunteering in a 3rd world country - so how perfect for her to be inspired by this amazing journey you're on and the difference you're making. So proud to be your friend!

Oh Loree, This warms my heart. I hope Maddie has an incredible time on her solo trip! I so wish gap years were encouraged when I was graduating from high school. I think my life's path would have been very different. I'd love to talk with her if and whenever she'd like!
