Last Grade and News

I finally got my Creative Writing grade: A (higher than I expected, woohoo!)

And, one of the people I tutored got her grade as well. She needed to make and 85 in Organic Chemistry II in order to graduate Magna Cum Laude after the second summer session, and she wasn't sure she was going to make it. She was without a doubt the best tutee I have ever had, and I think it was because she was concerned that with the disabilities she had, she'd deter any person who tried to tutor her, so as a result she came to each session super-prepared and she was exceptionally quick on the uptake once a concept became clear. She even gave me a present to let me know how much she appreciated all my help - she bought me Don Quixote de la Manch by Miguel Cervantes!! She emailed me a few days ago to let me know how she did on her final, and she was so excited because she made her 85 in the course(higher, actually), and now she gets to graduate Magna Cum Laude! All email correspondence must be carbon copied to my supervisor, so my supervisor read the emails and the news, and then sent us both an email to let us know how proud she was of both of us and how glad she was that we could work together this semester. What a fitting end to my days as an NCSU tutor!
