proud

“Today I went to play soccer.  I scored 3 goals and my team won.”

Yesterday I wrote this very short story (in Spanish of course) on my notebook while sitting at a table in Pizza Hut.  And my little buddy Kevin read it all out loud to me!  I could not believe it.  Remember Kevin?  In February of last year he had learned to write his name for the first time at 10 years old.  He didn’t have a birth certificate and wouldn’t have ever gone to school.  Thanks for some of your generosity, he is in school and moving towards a much brighter future!  I could not be more proud of him and his face beams when he finishes reading and looks up at me.  Seriously I melt.
