Two Strikes and ...

Well, my first two projects expired and I was down to one point left. I found myself thinking, "Why even bother?" I am not a quitter though. I decided to reach out to one of the other teachers on the listserv who had been successful with DonorsChoose. 

I hit the jack pot! She asked me to email her a copy of one of my projects that had expired. She read it and made a few (subtle) changes. I submitted it and BANG!  - it funded. I was so excited. My principal was skeptical that someone was actually going to send me something just because I asked. 

I do not even remember the name of the teacher who helped me but I will be forever grateful. Sometimes you may notice my going out of the way to help a Newbie, especially one with a red clock. Why? It's simple. Someone once went out of their way to help me.

Have a blessed weekend.
