[tri-med] Re: happy dance with Alex

Oh that's SO exciting!!!! :) :) :)  Give Alex our many congratulations! 
  What a great way to end the school year!
I always loved it when I had a student who had learning probs, but then 
succeeded.  It didn't matter if it wasn't an "A" paper--it was just so 
awesome that the student had worked hard and got the point!!!  I'm 
understanding more now what kind of struggles some of these kids face.
