Urban Treasure

I am not sure if I have written on this before but part of the fall coursework is creating a children's book. At the end of the semester you get at a professor's home and everyone shares their book. Every book has a different theme. Some are personal others are funny and some are very artistic. Mine was a reflection of my experience at my placement. I hope to upload the book in the coming days to share with the blog. In the meantime, I wanted to share a new journey my book is seeming to take.

At the encouragement of my Penn Mentor, I showed the book to the principal. She loved the book and called my classroom to tell me that she enjoyed the book and was impressed. I thanked her and explained the book needed to be corrected and "cleaned up." She offered to have her A.P.s help in the process and requested a final copy. At this point, I am just very happy and excited by enthusiasm. Later, I find out she had taken my book and forwarded to the district's regional office. I have no idea of what will come of it but it means a lot.

My Penn Mentor continues to encourage me to work on the book and circulate the book through the district. I am very excited by the response I am receiving. I have quite a few other projects on my plate but now I hope to continue with the project.

Again, I want to have it posted by this weekend.
