I have a nonprofit status

I am still making progress on my dream. I have found that I am most productive when I give myself an opportunity to just think. Sometimes I don't even think I am actively thinking about my plans. I may not be sitting and thinking about the ECRI, but my brain is still processing the data.  I need more time to process all of the ideas that I am working on.  It is a lot different than writing research papers or even doing finance. If I don't give myself the time to process then I make less gains. If I give myself a few days, I can start fresh and get a lot of work done.
I heard back from the Albany Social Justice Center that they accepted my application to be a member. This means I will have the benefits of a nonprofit. How exciting! Today, I have a conference call with the director, Victorio Reyes, to talk about the details of the arrangement. I have also sent a few emails to other organizations. I also have been in contact with Albany Public Schools to see how we can best work together. I have a meeting with the ESL coordinator in August. In order for this dream to become a reality, the community needs to work together.  This is good progress. I have a positive attitude and realistic expectations for the organization. My next step is to begin to create my curriculum for my first class.
