The annual field day at PSU Mont Alto was a terrible affair, with Eazy-E up tent frames having been mashed in the wind, an icy drizzle, and a few hundred people hovering awkwardly in a too-small tent. L. was excited because there was FREE TEA in the tent, which meant she could get hopped up on Splenda. J. Rebecca was our star of the day, and had the fortitude to not only climb a tall oak tree, but to do so in the rain and as fast as possible. Up, up, up she went until she got to ring the bell of victory, or at least the bell of completion. In the past year I have been impressed by her singular approach to making her education happen and being fully invested in the process, whether it be by talkin' trees with Paul G or climbing them!
