Repeat performance

Wow!  ChinaBoi was feeling pretty pleased with himself last year for winning the SECU scholarship, but that was nothing compared to the fact that he won it again this year!  This year he had to do a video on the difference between banks and credit unions.  Here's the video.  I was really proud of how much he learned doing this, and what made it even better was that when I posted his video on Facebook, he got two really meaningful comments.  One was from a friend of mine who used to manage a bank and said that he thought ChinaBoi did a really good job illustrating the differences.  The other was from a Deaf friend who said she never realized there was a difference and learned a lot from watching his video.  

Looks like SECU is passing on financial education to the Deaf community indirectly through ChinaBoi.  

They had a really nice ceremony and said they're looking forward to next year. 

So are WE!!

Freshman Year Done!

ChinaBoi is done his freshman year at RIT!  He got all B's for his second semester, which is not bad at all!  Especially considering that he's in some advanced math and AutoCAD classes, things that I can offer no help in whatsoever.  I've checked over and made suggestions on a couple of his English essays, but other than that, he's really been out there on his own this year, and I just couldn't be prouder of how well he's doing.  

Here's to the end of being a freshman, ChinaBoi--may you be equally as successful as a sophomore!
