HELLO AGAIN:

Hey everyone, hope everything is going well. Today, Jose and I didn't do much. Instead, we sat down and talk with a student and we had a meeting (planning) with Mrs. Buchanan. Jose and I talked to Lucky Lee (a current migrant student), he is such a wonderful student but so self-determined. Meaning, he was hard trying to persuade about college. He wants to go to college but instead a private college. Jose and I was trying to open and give him the different choices he have besides just attending a private college and cannot get your master degree for a better financial job. Lucky told us straight out that he knows where he is going and he is going to stick with what he planned. He told us money is not important to him and that he don't really care about getting a high pay job. Jose and I tried our best and we are not going to give up on him. He have self-determination and self-strive in him, but he is just set maybe in a wrong path. We were both surprised when Mrs. Buchanan told us that he is the president of the Hmong Club. I mean, he was difficult trying to talk to, and then here we have or we know another side of him that is different. He got mad because Jose made a joke with him about going to a private school instead of a university, and then he just got up and took off during the conversation. I think this is a situation where our 24/7 psychologist--> Dr. Ponce comes in handling (LOL) just kidding. But Jose and I will try to work with him, and maybe turn or change his mind about some stuffs for the better. =) Anyways, what we've planned so far with Mrs. Buchanan for this upcoming November, is work with those students who needs to complete their CAMP and EOP applications. Then hopefully we can start recruiting our team for the year. =) We have recruiting a few along the way but we wanted to go into further details with them later on when we have the big recruitment. We also planned a Thanksgiving Potluck for our migrant students. We will be sending out invitations for a celebration. That's about all for today, and we guys enjoy your weekend + have a safe and happy halloween. =)
