In-Famous

Since the first day I started teaching I thought about when my students would make-it in life. You know, become rich and famous fashion designers, or movie stars, or rock band peeps; and I'd look back and say, I had them as a student. I've been in their presence.

Well my fine readers, it has happened...although not like I had envisioned. Way to go Terrence Harris, you've done your family proud. (Being that he is in the newspaper, I don't feel bad calling him out.)
Read story here if your interested. (Which, with that introduction, how could you not be?)

And a special thanks to another former student who brought this story to my attention. I always counted on them to keep me informed. :) 1 student down; 1054 hopefuls to go

That is so sad. Is it weird that the girl pictured seems the scariest to me out of the whole bunch? I was surprised to read that she turned herself in. She seems too hardcore for that.

I think about this concept all the time. Sorry about this kid - definitely keeping my fingers crossed for the other ones.

Wow what a way to become famous. That is so sad he had to lead his life down that path.
