Tension builds, with sore eyes together not just with late nights but early mornings as well. And not just for the students but the cultural exchange team too such is the commitment, passion by all so that everyone can say enthusiastically, we did it!
 
Burning the candle at both ends is very descriptive of what is taking place in various homes, bedrooms, coffee shops, telephone calls and emails. The drive, pride, desire for more, with a galvanized approach to discover, obtain information by looking in every secluded corner of the internet, libraries, book shops all to share, complete with presentations, to  guide the entire team, in the quest of success with GED examinations now and in the coming weeks. Hey guys this is how Championships are won!!
 
It is and has been an exciting, emotional, rewarding time for the cultural team, classes have been well supported to standing room only, even as other schools and universities are cancelling classes due to poor air quality. Wow that’s commitment! Anxious times for students, whose focus moves purely to be armed with knowledge, confidence to write the exams, while the rewards of success become distant, and faded.
 
A thought and  appreciation must go to those we don’t see or hear, the families, partners, whoever, who have given support in their own way and may have been unintentionally slightly neglected over the past weeks and even in the on coming weeks. Thank You.
 
And if you don’t know who the team is, they are -  Brian, Bob, Gary and Roger -- in the rear, with the BEAM students in front at the March 30 Celebration of Completion of preparation for the GED exams, to be taken in the coming weeks .
