Ebeye in May!!!

I went to Ebeye, Marshall Islands as a volunteer for a year and taught 4th grade back in '97-'98. Myla, you remember how crazy that year was! Anyways, I just made a reservation today to head over there in May for my students' senior graduation! It's hard to believe...I didn't think it would really come true, but as long as the travel agent doesn't call me back and tell me I can't use my mileage points to go to Ebeye, then the itinerary says I'm heading over there. I'm REALLY going to head over there! Wow. I think I'll be checking my reservaton every day to make sure it's still there!

Although my students drove me nuts back then, I know I LOVE them! If I can see even ONE of them go on and hopefully go to college and make something of themselves, I'd be SO happy. I wish I were doing better financially so that I could sponsor one of my former students and get them through college...unfortunately, I haven't reached that point in my life yet so that little dream of mine will have to wait until who knows when. One of these days though, it's going to happen. I know it. My dream to attend their grad is about to come true, so my dream to see one of them graduate from college might come true too, with enough time and patience.
