So much has happened since I last blogged anything. I returned to the USA for the summer before returning to the DR, but unfortunately my fundraising did not meet my expected needs and I ended up staying in KC. So here I am now 3 weeks into the school year at Argentine Middle School where I am teaching 8th grade math. It has been a blast so far and I am really excited about this year. My students represent a lot of challenges and a lot of potential and I am excited to be part of their lives and see where they can go.
For those of you that don't know the Kansas City area; Argentine is a small part of Kansas City, Kansas. It is an area that is very rich in history and has a large standing Hispanic population. Although Argentine sounds like it gets its name from a S American country it actually comes from its silver refining days with the Latin root of Silver being Argos.

Basically life is good, but I do miss the DR.
