Spent a bunch of time messing around with my main website and portfolio. There’s still changes to be made regarding content, but the Hire Me section got overhauled. This link is always available in the sidebar of this blog as well.

Approaching the busiest time of the year for the Academy. There’s the great news of hearing about the college acceptance letters our senior students are receiving. But this is also our recruitment period. All 12 middle schools will be sending their nominations our way. We’ll receive close to 120 nominations, will only be able to interview about half of them, and will finally only select 28 new students. The interview process includes the whole family. In the past there would be some obvious cases where our program didn’t match up with the family, but no longer. Practically, every family nominated has a case to be included in our program. As I said, the most difficult time of year for us. This issue just speaks to the fact that there is a greater need than even we can address in our communities.

Enough of the negative. I’m going to be participating in mock interviews at a local high school in a little while, and I have a portrait session scheduled this evening. I’m looking forward to it. And don’t forget you can Hire Me, too.

Hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy today’s weather.
