This past weekend I found out that the burglar who broke into my friend's place (while I was there) was caught. He was caught breaking into another house and they were able to identify him. So, the police found him and made him turn in all the things that he had stolen. So my friends were able to get their computer and camera back. As you could imagine, we are all very happy about this news. Karma can really come around to bite you in the ass!
On another note though, I officially found out yesterday that one of the students that I have been working closely on reading with is pregnant again for the third time. And she is only 16. And to make matters even worse, the reason she became pregnant is because she was sexually assaulted. I wish that I could do something for her, she has had such a traumatic life already. PAM has this policy that requires girls who have second pregnancies, while in the program, to drop out. I hope that they make an exception for this girl. She was just starting to really open up socially and also starting to get the hang of reading finally. I know that if she isn't able to continue here at PAM that she will struggle with her lack of education. I hope that she will still be able to persevere and turn her life around after all this.
