Well, a lovely little package arrived in our mail box yesterday. And after five years, fighting for accommodations along the way, fighting for exams in alternate format, and demanding several refunds... I am finally, and totally a TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!! I got my Level 1 license in the mail yesterday. I am now officially by the state of Pennsylvania capable of teaching Special Education for the Visually Impaired, and Elementary education. I am so excited and relieved too, smile, as I can now officially say I am a TEACHER! Yeah.! It took forever, but it is finally here, and mom says once we get several photocopies of it, it is getting framed, smile. But I had to share with this family as we have been a team, well, gosh for me for almost four years, or maybe it is four years now, smile, I don't remember when I joined as a volunteer, smile. But a lot of us have been here going through each others joys and tribulations, and well, smile. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
