Photo Challenge Day 2

Today I attended a Tailgate BBQ at my church with many of my closest DC friends.  I had every intention of taking a photograph of the BBQ to use for today's post.  Unfortunately, I completely forgot to even take out my camera!  Consequently, I must resort to a picture of my cat.

This is Grace, also called Eun Hye (Korean for grace).  She was a rescue cat long ago; she is now a hefty 12 years old.  I think she must have been abused when she was on the street because she is very wary of strangers, and even though my roommate has lived with me for about a year and a half, Grace still hasn't warmed up to her.  She is particular and enjoys her comforts, perhaps a little too much.  She has always been quite photogenic.  Here she is lounging on her tower.

Now before you get concerned about seeing an endless string of cat photos, I promise to only show one picture of each cat (there are only 2) this month - unless they do something amazing, in which case I am not likely to catch it on film.  Be assured I have no intention of subjecting the public to endless cat photos; there are many available online, much funnier than the ones I capture.

A New Challenge: Photo Challenge Day 1

This month I have decided to take on the challenge of taking one photo each day and blogging about it.

The picture representing August 1 is the group picture of the class I taught in July.  This group of young people came from several countries to experience American college life for one month.  They are, for the most part, bright, enthusiastic, energetic, and motivated.  It was a privilege to work with them!

It has been a very long time since I've worked with high school students, and I learned quite a bit from my experience with Summer Discovery.  I don't know if I'll teach for this program again next year, but I know I will approach the class a little differently next time if I do.

I wish all my Summer Discovery students a safe trip home and a great school year!
