In lieu of elaborate writing and verbose parables, tonight I have opted for an update composed almost entirely of images. And so it commences:
I returned from
I apologize for the lack of updates. Like I’ve said before, I’m swamped with other commitments but I’m doing my best. The meeting, which I was unable to fully summarize before I left, was a success.
It was a milestone for all of us, and now that the expectation has been raised astronomically, I know that progress is anticipated.
In the meantime, between my return and now, I managed to send “thank you” e-mails to both the state and federal officials from the initial meeting. I hope to remain in contact with either one or both of them.
However I want to reiterate that I can not reach our goals by myself; I need the help of every concerned student. Do anything you can.
As for what is happening in the immediate future, I have the following information to relay. I will meet with various officials on Wednesday, along with a few other students, in order to discuss the problems of and suggest improvements for the actual software of our current portfolio system.
The future is bright, and I hope that more and more people associate themselves into activism as time goes on. I feel that together we can make a change and this is evidenced by the fact that we are in the middle of progress right now. Think about it – the regional representative from the federal Department of Education was at your high school discussing your issues.
The worst course of action for us as students to take would be to stop and become dormant. We must continue to increase our volume and continue to be heard. Remember, I am not alone, and I cannot solve this problem by myself. In fact, a solution will not come about without collaboration and cooperation between students of every background. One person can only do so much. Masses of people are required to truly make a difference.

I recommend not hotlinking to those images, as they can change without your knowledge, so save those images and upload them to a site you can manage, say Ben's Mihopa site or just imageshack, etc.
Thanks for not hotlinking, it wouldn't have been good at all for the images to have been changed without your control to display... like shock images. That wouldn't have been good at all.
