Djburney's Journal, 15 January 2013

I hope this is a true drop and not a yo yo again. I feel thinner.

I had a fantastic meeting in Yuma, they can't see a down side to my program (there isn't one!), so once everyone approves, they are putting it before the school board and then we'll get started! I expect a list of over 2000 students, so we will have a lot of work to do, finding them and getting them into the graduation program. I'm so excited about this! I'm hitting the biggest districts first in the largest cities in the state, I hope my little company is ready for this! Nodropouts.com

I was a screwup in my 20s. I really was. Dropped out of college, did all sorts of things I shouldn't be doing, went from job to job to job, getting fired from some, just leaving others. At 26, my dad told me that it was time for me to get serious about school, that I wasn't going to have a good life if I didn't straighten up. The timing was right, I was finally willing to listen and went back to school and got my education degree and taught for 15 years. Getting an education changed my life, and I hope I can pay it forward with these kids.

This country is so lucky to have people like you! Education was what I wanted to do but left school as well after completeing my 2 year. Picked the wrong 4 year and it all just fell aprt. Went back and got another 2 year and as much as I love photography it wasn't real family friendly. After living the first half or so of my 20s like you I started to smarten up but then had kids on so on. That's why I am so hard on my son. I'm not saying college is a must but some type of further education is. There are so many options now. I hope he gets it and thanks to people like you I'm sure alot of kids turn around.

I LOVE you business idea. It is so worthwhile and I cannot imagine any school board rejecting such an idea.
