Wednesday, May 09, 2007 ( 7:40 AM ) shut up christine redemption song its not that i hate what i do, i think i just got burnt out i've been hella stressed for like the past three months and its hard justifying a 12+ hour workday when i feel so "eh" ya know? i guess i was kinda sad. the last few months were hard lots of growing pains anyway, yesterday was the last day of one my programs, so we're closing up the site and the kids are getting ready to go home i'm going around explaining the progress report results and i get to this one girl, a sixth grader at the beginning, she tested at the third grade level... then she showed me her final progress report and my mouth dropped i asked her "do you know what this means??" her scores showed her at the tenth grade level!! i was sooo happy for her, her tutor and i made a big deal about it we kept telling her how proud we are, and how smart she is, and look at all the things she can accomplish when she applies herself it was such a huge moment, i even started tearing up and you should have seen her face she was shocked that we were reacting this way, jumping up and down for her i think a lot of these kids never get told that they're smart so the kids leave, and after i'm done cleaning up, I'm walking back to my car and she runs up to me and gives me a humongo hug and that right there is all the justification i need it makes everything worth it i'm not sad anymore and i have all the juice i need to finish out strong #
