congrats to all the glow scholars
as many of you know (more on that later), i mentor two students, jonathon and miriam, at the glow foundation, a nfp that provides financial education and makes college education a reality for underserved youth.
it has been a great experience getting to know the students. many of them come from incredibly challenging backgrounds, and yet there they are, willing to learn and take on the challenges of applying for school and finding the financial aid necessary for making their dreams of a college education a reality.
tuesday was the “graduation” banquet, where we handed out scholarships and awards. it was a great moment, seeing so many of their college dreams come true.
congrats to all the 2008 glow scholars
i also had the following conversation with adam, one of the foundations co-founders. keep in mind, i had only met him on one previous occasion.
adam: hey, i might be totally wrong here, but youre angry ninja arent you?
me: (totally surprised) yeah.
adam: dude. youre site is totally awesome. im a google analytics freak and you drive a lot of traffic to the glow site.
me: really?
adam: yeah. its google, yahoo, facebook, and then you.
so yeah, apparently many of you know that i am affiliated in some way to the glow foundation and are clicking on the links. thank you for your interest. hopefully some of you are donating to the cause. also, we are always looking for more volunteers, so let me know if you are interested.
also, apparently i look like the kind of person that runs a site like www.angryninja.com. after all, i had only met adam once.
alternatively, you can pick up some angry ninja t shirts, as all sales go straight to their cause.
