entrepreneur ?

New idea - I've started a little tutoring business, "The Educational Edge". I've created a website, flyer, bookmarks, and business cards all in one day! I'm hoping my brother will be able to help me with contacts when my niece goes to Holy Cross. Want to check out my website? www.educationaledge.weebly.com it's kinda cool! I'm proud of my little creations. I'll keep you posted on my new adventure!

East Palo Alto Academy & Santa Clara University

So March 2nd was my first day working at the East Palo Alto Academy. I was with 1st and 2nd graders - not too tough right? Well, the school educates inner city kids who come from less privileged lives. My kids are so mature in that they know more about their environment; they even correctly guessed my age (when I was in 1st grade, I would have said someone who looks like me would be 35 or something).
My 1st & 2nd graders were a tough group - it was easy for them to get off task and become distracted because there is always a sub on Fridays. On Friday, I worked in the kindergarten class with the substitute - whoa, were they a hand full! I guess the class is actually pretty mellow when the teacher is present Monday-Thursday, but when Friday rolls around, they go bonkers! I was to be there as a support staff, and I have no idea how the sub could handle that class ever on her own.
I will keep working at the East Palo Alto Academy twice a week and will keep you updated!

Today my mom and I attended Santa Clara University's "Scholars Day" where we were fed a delicious breakfast and high-class catered lunch on a gorgeous sunny patio. We attended a class on psychology and exercise, met the dean of the College of Arts and Science, had a photo scavenger hunt (really fun!), received a great goodie bag of "SCU" stuff and all around am EXCITED TO BECOME A BRONCO!!!!!!!!

there you have it- a legit decision - SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY for me!!!!!!
