57%... that's how much the admission rate to colleges improved for graduating seniors from the local high school in 2010, as compared to 2009. I'm not sure whether my teaching them made for much of the difference, but I feel proud to have been a part of their education. In this photo, the seniors stand for an opening address at graduation. On the raised platform, next to school and Dept. of Education staff, sits Manny Mori, the President of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). It was a great honor to have President Mori in attendance, and well-earned recognition for these students so far removed from the state capital.
