Spring Break \’08: Arkansas

We decided to drive straight back Friday; with limited stops. I’m pleased to say we made it back without incident and with deeper friendships. As we begin to unload, I was internally reminded that though the WABA tour has come to an end; the work that we begin in the lives of the pupils at Stephens High School will never end nor be forgotten. Moreover, the work that took place within each WFU community member that took the journey will never end nor be forgotten. This trip embodies why I live each day and yearn to make a global impact within the education system. I would like to end by thanking all those who followed our blogs and encourage each of you to make sacrifices for the greater good of humanity, on a frequent basis.

Stay Tuned …. we are waiting for the Stephens student’s updates — and we will update you — As we begin to make calls on the students behalf’s we found out about several acceptances — and we anticipate more!

I leave you with this: One student I was working with Thursday told me her ACT scores was holding her admission decision. I called the university. They confirmed. I called the ACT folks and they further confirmed her scores were being held because she owed a balance. This was taken care of– and we left that school knowing that ACT balance would NOT keep this bright student from attending college — This is why I participated in WABA …. to provide the hope that was once given to me.
