Some Students during their Graduation

Kathy Phillip is "related" to me. She always always quiet in class but worked really hard.

Angelo "DN The Commander Talley". I have been on many daring missions with him. He always is an adventurer. His fathers nickname for me is "Richardson" because he followed the 2008 Presidential Race and remembers Richardson was from New Mexico. He's probably the only person on the island who knows I'm from the United States and not Mexico...his son was one of my hardest working and most enjoyable students this year.

Nena Mackweang

Nena was not one of my most dedicated students and he was not very interested in school. His parents have both passed away and he is living with his grandfather. He was one of the first kids to befriend me when I arrived in Kosrae. Outside of school he continues to be a great friend. Being in Peace Corps is not always about wether you can measure success. I was more excited for Nena on graduation day than anyone of my students.
