A necessary voice – from a fellow blogger …
The president said we have to face some hard questions; twenty elementary school children were gunned down in their classrooms on Friday, along with six adults charged with keeping them safe. It was unfathomable…
Just as it was beyond comprehension when twelve students and one teacher were gunned down in Littleton Colorado… Do you even remember their names? Twenty-one more were injured. They too were children: Cassie Bernall (17), Steven Curnow (14), Corey DePooter (17), Kelly Fleming (16), Matthew Kechter (16), Daniel Mauser (15), Daniel Rohrbough (15), Rachel Scott (17), Isaiah Shoels (18), John Tomlin (16), Lauren Townsend (18), Kyle Velasquez (16) died along with a teacher, William “Dave” Sanders, at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. It was unfathomable that anyone could wantonly kill people so young, so innocent…

Loved it! Now I’m a follower!
Waiting to find out if I got the job at the little “love” school! Looked at a nice apartment where I would rent a room with its own bath – large kitchen and livingroom to share with 2 nice roommates. If I get the job this will be a convenient location – 30 mintue commute to the school and about the same in the other direction to get to Santiago Center. Also about 20 minutes to the Bahai Center (although I would have to figure out the route – a bit different from how I go from here…)
The psychological test for this one was – get this – Rorschach inkblots!! A blast from the past! I gave some creative answers – don’t know whether they will fly or not, due to the cultural biases at work as well. My sample lesson and the interviews went well, I probably got good letters of rec, so now it is in Baha’u’llah’s hands! I should know tomorrow or the next day for sure. Would love to move this weekend – the room has its own bath, which is nice! I am ready to unpack!!
Miss you, miss you, miss you!! How is everything on your end? Love, Lee Ann The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. –Baha’u’llah Chcek out my blog on yoga, music and wellness: http://www.leeannedwards.com
