I appreciate the warm regards. It's been a lot of 
work getting to this point. Part-time school, 
part-time work, and lots of student loans. But, 
on May 15th I'll get a little slip of paper that 
will make it all worthwhile. I am certified to 
teach secondary English(Literature and Grammar), 
which includes grades 7-12. I really miss New 
Zealand, though. It is like this unspoiled jewel. 
I can see why Peter Jackson shoots fantasy films 
there. The entire place is almost unreal in a way.
