What does it feel like when dreams come true?
Why? Because it's the Course Number that students at Broughton High School in Raleigh will be able to choose next February when they register for the course ME³ designed to teach students about helping others, volunteerism, social issues, and community leadership: Community Service and Leadership. For 2 years we've been developing this course, consulting with others in the community, begging and pleading various public school officials, nagging them if they didn't reply to us quickly enough, going to meetings that got our hopes up only to have the project delayed, and revising our course goals.
This morning I met with the Broughton administrator whose been pulling for us throughout the past year, and two young teachers who are eager to teach the course. I was ecstatic to see how passionate they felt about this, too, and I just know it is going to be a spectacularly fun class for students to take. I wish I could go back to High School and take it!
What's next? Getting students to enroll. We need at least 25 students from Broughton to sign up for the course, and then it will be put in the schedule. The 'battle' isn't over - but this is a huge victory!
I'm gonna go do a jig.
