Look between Rangeley and Eustis on Google Maps - by following Rt. 16 out of the village and to the east.
Put it this way. there's a 100' wide path cut though the forest just so that the trees don't come down on the power lines. You'll see it, if you decide to check it out.
(It's the guitar thread tonight, so I'm pretty slow responding.)
I knew you said Rangeley before I was actually checking out the terrain earlier today, trying to get a sense for the area before I drive out there. Just in case I'm without GPS for some reason.Thats okay I've got a million and 1 things going on tonight too my oldest turned 6 today so its been birthday and now that she is down I am back to finding a better chat solution for poal. also looking for what I am going to do next for work. I do have to say I think my time in education is probably over sad but short of opening my own charter I don't think I could go work for the ISD or another charter things are so, windowsy and there is quite a fair bit of corruption going on at least in my states ed department.
I wish I had words of advice, but I don't. I'm not sure what your goals are.
Happy birthday to the birthday girl!
If you do manage to remain in education, you'll be helping little girls just like her. I'm very, very biased when it comes to education and academia in general. I'm very much in favor of getting involved, improving, and aiding - even if the risks are high and the rewards little.
Thus, I'm not really able to be objective. (Good cop out, huh?!?) grins
I guess I don’t really know how to move forward other than to found a school and do what this program did except right, keep the proper documents and take way less profit. However it becomes a moot point when you learn in order to actually do it right would take start up capital, I simply don’t have it and I’ve never taken anyone’s money to start a business and I have no plans to start, all that comes with strings and strings mean either seeking profit or power either way it wrecks the whole concept. Like I said the idea is amazing kids having college degrees bachelors degrees debt free at 18 is an amazing powerful concept but I simply don’t have the means to make it a reality and on top of that the education department in my state was non too happy about it. If this school had listened to the numerous people who gave advice and hired based on merit and let people do what needed to be done I could go on and on about all the things that needed to be addressed but no matter now. It’s kind of game over. I’ve honestly considered getting out of it all together maybe even trying to get a degree in math or physics and attempting to be a scientist of some sort but really that’s probably a pipe dream. I’ll be fine I’ll land on my feet I always do. I’m a fighter if nothing else. I just had so much hope when I joined this program, I wanted so badly to be part of fixing education it failed me and I could have maybe made sure it didn’t fail my kids and millions of others but ultimately people’s pride killed the whole thing. So depressing
EDIT: It just occurred to me that you might see some of the things I said in this message as asking for money. So let me be clear. I AM NOT. I do not want your money. I am perfectly capable of pulling my own weight. I need no charity and will not accept any if in anyway I can avoid it. I'll admit I've been on government benefits before but I got off as soon as I could and should I need them again I will do the same. I DO NOT want an any money. I have seen how that goes wrong far too many times. I do want relationships and friends(I don't really have any). Honestly I'm uncomfortable a little with your offer to let me stay in your home and eat your food. I should be able to pay my own way. If I were to come out honestly I couldn't afford to pay for motel and eating out the whole time so I'm willing to accept that just because I want to meet you and see the place that you love so much. I know that people with money they tend to have everyone in their life asking for their money. I've seen it so many times it turns them cynical to relationships. I've always tried to just be there friend I've never asked for anything, other than them to pay the bill when I provided a service any time spent just talking I never billed for. So if you thought that I'm sorry I just got passionate about an idea and realized I couldn't do it so I might have said some stupid things.
please read my edit as I am concerned I may have said something stupid.
