well I opened the skinny one- it was a reminder to apply for financial aid
( she previously was going to apply to more schools- so I have finished FAFSA, I just hadn’t gone back and added more schools)
I don’t expect she will get anything- but I will update FAFSA to add this school.
I may also just open the other one in case she has to send something in for the dorms in case she does decide to attend.

It was so hectic before she left ( she finished her college essay to her preferred school the night before), that while I had mentioned that this school had called and said they would be sending an admissions packet- she was really not in college mode, she was in finishing up her schoolwork, getting ready for Ghana mode ( the students do the bulk of the planning , organizing- motivating - the adults facilitate.) She has just been exhausted- she barely would take time to eat dinner.

This is a great article about the director/teacher in the program- this isn’t her high school- he must have transferred soon after the article was written.



How has this man motivated these teenagers into studying with such astonishing industry? If it’s charisma the man has got, he’s sure not flaunting it right now. He’s only 31, but he’s already kind of pudgy and sort of subdued-looking too, like somebody happy to have a steady job in the municipal building permits department. if you had to describe him in a word, you’d probably say “average.” Everything is average: height, weight, appearance, voice, dress, manner. It is very unlikely you would ever suspect that you are in the presence of an iron-willed man with a mission he intends to carry out.

This is so true ;)

But he has been running these programs for 10 years- and very successfully.[Robo prof - high school technology teacher Kjell-Jon Rye | Whole Earth Review | Find Articles at BNET.com](http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1510/is_n62/ai_7422453/pg_1)
