GED Graduation

GED graduation was a few weeks ago. It was incredibly inspiring. I couldn't help bursting with pride. There was an incredible local support. The featured speaker was Lance E. Nichols, a successful actor born, raised, and returned to New Orleans. It was so much fun, and I am so proud of every one of my students. Here are some pictures to show off my students! All of our hard work over the past two years has paid off!

Emmanuel and his parents

Carol - who bought an air horn and planned to blow it as she walked across the stage....until her husband took it from her.

Trineil whose name I've been saying wrong for the past year and didn't know it until the day of graduation.  Her favorite past time is giving me grief.

Cherlyn...whose name I've been saying wrong for the past two years....Thanks, girl. Gonna miss having her around though...she keeps me in my place! 

Practically family.

Natasha through an awesome party that we were very sad to leave. Crawfish, the best barbecue I have ever eaten, a bottle of  Crown, and a trampoline. We left before it got wild.

This doesn't sum up the past two years, but it's close as I'll be able to get.
