Last week I had one of those "I could die now" moments...not that I really want to die, but I felt so filled with joy and gratitude that I felt like, if I did die, I would do so with a smile on my face.  Ok, maybe I'm sounding a bit morbid...but the Native American's say you should live as if death was right over your shoulder. 

Why was I so blissed out? I attended the Celerity Nascent Charter School's graduation.  One hundred eighth graders that we've been working with for the past year stood on the stage beaming.  They did a tribute to the Dream Project...a "call and response" song...i.e. "WHEN I SAY DREAM, YOU SAY PROJECT," "DREAM" "PROJECT" "DREAM" "PROJECT!"  The audience went wild...it was like being at a Laker Game (when they are winning.)

This project has truly taken on a life of its own, and has clearly inspired the kids we have worked with.  Here is a video that we played for the kids that summarizes the year...enjoy!
