My Sentence

My sentence would look something like this:
He brought a Driver's Ed program to a school that needed it, and started a revolution in the way people relate college preparatory and Driver's Ed.

(Not) Final Post: Where Am I?

So this is the final blog. I don’t mean final as in last, but instead final as in “this is my Senior Seminar Final.” I haven’t needed any more information on the classes and the state laws, so the next thing for me to tackle is the logistics. Specifically, I mean the cost and the legislature. I plan on my panel members helping me with that aspect. I plan on inviting Dr. Ray Griffin, because he has actually done this kind of thing before. He has started a Driver’s Ed program at another private school, so he has the perfect amount of experience. He’s also very good at scoring grants for the school, so he can tell me how to do it. Another panel member that I want to invite is Board of Trustees President Leon Payne. He has expressed interest in my project, and that really excites me. One member that is kind of on the fence is the state representative for my district, Armando Walle. He is in the state legislature and I believe he could really help me with the larger picture. However, he hasn’t contacted me back except for just one email so I don’t have my hopes up for him. I would also like to invite Brian Lamore. While he taught at Chinquapin, he was a genius at getting grants. I believe that his advice, coupled with Dr. Griffin’s advice, will be invaluable. Over the break, I will really have to convince Rep. Walle to join my review panel. Also, Brian Lamore has been rather quiet, so I will have to send the feelers out towards him. By January, I should be able to start applying for grants, with Dr. Griffin and Brian’s assistance. With Rep. Walle’s guidance, I can see the best way to tackle the legislature that restricts schools like mine. Mr. Payne is a valuable source of my project’s real-world application, without the influence of politics or anything like that. We’ll get things done, people.
