The Good.

My wife (with my help from time to time) has been tutoring two girls from our neighborhood this year. It has been an emotional time. One of the girls failed all of her courses last year and was made to repeat the 6th grade. The other girl would regularly come to our house after school with all of her assignments undone, requiring her to work well into the night to finish it. All this because she was afraid to ask questions in class. Report card time arrived and to our complete joy, both of the girls achieved A B Honor roll status. They both have worked very hard. This week the 6th grader received a commendation from her teacher because she has taken to helping one of her classmates to succeed. She is counseling her out of all of the issues she hersalf had at the begginning of the year. How cool!
