Blog 35: The Second Years!

I always find this kind of letter difficult to write. What can I say about the second years that has not already been said? This program tends to attract positive, outgoing people with a desire to help and possessing the naivety that they believe they can actually change the system. I love this kind of person. Although some get jaded, all succeed in changing a few lives. To survive the madness that is the Mississippi School system you have to be a little bit crazy and have a good idea on how to survive. You are all been extremely helpful and supportive and I can not say enough about that. A good bunch of people and I firmly believe that you  all will succeed at whatever endeavor you  undertake next. I enjoyed getting to know those of you I did and would have like to get to know the rest of you more. Cheers to Y’all!

I will leave you with some key memories of the second years. These are but a succinct snap shot of the many great memories I have of this unique crew.
