I've been reading the Diamond Ranch Academy Employees blog and I've really enjoyed learning about my colleague's. I've always been aware that I was working with a more intelligent group than I usually have the opportunity, but there is a lot of personality that individuals bring together to make this ranch simply amazing. I learned things about Jake Probert, just for example, that I may never have figured out myself.
When you're done with that, go to the official struggling teen website. There are videos there that can help you learn about teen's experiences there. One such teen, I got to see take a whole new look at his struggles as he was about to be done with the academy. He told me he'd found Diamond Ranch Academy on the internet himself, that he wanted that experience of self-improvement.
What a motivated youth! Perhaps some of Jake's personality helped make that happen.

I've heard so much feedback of late from parents, and even students themselves. Students off to college and lives changed. I only hope that as I read up on them, that it'll provide inspiration for more posts here.
ReplyDeleteSome amazing students have certainly inspired a couple of the entries thus far.
