It’s hard to think that 2009 is nearing to a close so rapidly.  It seems like only yesterday that we are waiting for Obama to take office and throwing the old Christmas tree out.

But with each year ending, there is a renewed hope and energy that next year will be better than the last.  Over this year at ESM, we feel blessed that our mentor-based tutoring and counseling platform has been well-received both globally, and locally.

Each day I go to sleep thinking about how we touch the lives of our students, and how in turn, they touch our lives.  There is so much we have accomplished, and yet so much that still needs to be done, and it helps calm me when I realize that this process truly is not about an end, it is about a healthy and happy journey along the way.

Here’s to 2009, and to an even more fruitful 2010.
