December means the end of the school year and graduations
here in Nica! Students finished up their school year at the end of November and
we celebrated many of our students graduating from elementary and high school.
I am so proud of
these students. Every year. Every year, I think that it can’t get better. We
continue to have more and more students graduating from high school and many
who are the first in their families to do so. This year, our program saw a rise
in overall grades!
We worked hard this year to improve our tutoring program and
get more students connected with university student tutors. We still have a
ways to go and many more things to learn, but it was encouraging to see
improvement.
Without Limits continues to see the importance of accountability
in our program. Backpacks and school supplies are essential tools, but nothing
compared to having people on your side. We strive to build relationships with
our students and for them to know that we believe in all they can do. We are
always on the side of our students even when they don’t think so. We push them
to be better people and to do more than they ever thought they could. Some
students have never before been told they are smart and that’s not something
they can believe the first time hearing it. It takes years. Years walking
alongside students, children, teenagers, even parents. As we look back over the
years, we are so proud of how our students have grown and how they continue to
do so.
