Mary and Vanisa

Grade 12 students are also presented with Spirit Dragons when they leave.  Here I am a few weeks ago after the Grade 12 awards night with one of my favourite students Vanisa Vongphanaphone.  Vanisa is hard working and unassuming and absolutely gorgeous.  It has been a pleasure to work with her this year to support her applications for colleges and scholarships. She has been accepted into universities in The Netherlands and Canada and will make a final decision soon. Vanisa hopes to study Liberal Arts and Sciences, probably sociology and then return to Laos to work in a way that will improve the quality of life in her country, especially access to education.
