OMG LOL Finally! At Last! YEAH!

When I-1163 was approved, we knew that all Continuing Education would need to be approved. Since the application for Continuing Education came out in April, I have been working very hard to get BINGO and Book Clubs approved. It's been a long process and I've learned so so much. Although it was hard, it was a really great experience. I learned about writing curriculum, working with the state and making compromises. I'm not being sarcastic when I say that it was a really enjoyable experience and I learned ALOT. Sure it was long and sure it was a lot of work. But patience is definitely not a virtue of mine and it was a good opportunity to learn how to be patience.
