Alex made my day today. He passed the Global History and Geography Regents Exam!! Let me tell you a little bit about Alex. When I first met him, he came to tutoring two hours late.

He would do assignments if he felt like it. There was always an excuse for something, but he would never take responsibility for his actions.
When I finally sat down with he and his mother and told them that at the rate Alex was going, he was not going...
