Ahh . . . the first post on a virgin blog. What to talk about? I created this blog at school for use in the VIRTUAL WRITING CENTER. Its great to finally be doing something meaningful in the American Educational System. One of my causes is education reformation, so expect for me to rant about the poor quality of school systems in the U.S. quite often. It is beyond me how anyone growing up in an industrialized country can graduate from high school without the ability to comprehend adult level reading or basic math. I came across a startling piece of information the other day- more than 20 percent of adults read at or below a fifth grade level. FIFTH GRADE! Let us comprehend that for a moment. Fifth graders are usually around ten or eleven years of age.
There I go again ranting about education. I am so predictable.

You are a model student who makes responsible choices. "Fixing" education is a huge task - I'm glad you are on a mission - recruit as many as you can for this cause. Bravo!
