A great
job to all the tutors and learners! It has been very inspiring to
see all of you working together over this past year. The first day
all of us – learners and tutors – became a part of Project Read, we
began a journey together. Your accomplishments have inspired me to
start a new journey at New College here in San Francisco in the Weekend
College BA Degree Completion Program. Also, a special big thanks to
all of you who have supported and help me to make this possible. Finally,
to Lynde who will always be my tutor – your work as my tutor is still
in progress.
