One week until my classes begin. Still a lot to do, but i will manage... 

I'm sad because recently I learned that my sponsored child, Esteyvin has left school and so that means he's out of the program. He's 16 and finished 9th grade. He has to work of course. He's from Guatemala. I hope he can pursue education again someday, because I know what a difference it makes in creating opportunity, but I'm not unrealistic. 

This is my second sponsored child with basically the same result. The last one, Myra, stayed in school longer, but she too eventually had to drop out to work. She was from the Philippines. May God watch over them both always. I can pick a new child to sponsor, but I don't want to choose, so Unbound will assign someone new to me.

 If Bruce Blakeman is so concerned about taxes, why doesn't he weed his own garden? Nassau County has notoriously high local taxes and ranks at the top both nationally and in the state. What a phony. He is a Trump boot-licker and I've no doubt he is corrupt and unethical.

Preparation for the semester is going well.

Trying to stay focused rather than be distracted by the state of the nation.
