D gets the money
A final update on D, my student whose laptop was stolen and then replaced by readers of this blog (click on the label below to follow the entire story): I met with D a couple of days ago to present him with a "scholarship fund" of $1,000. The money, most of it donated by a group of amazing people, will go toward upcoming travel and other expenses relating to his college search. He said he's spending this summer preparing for his senior year (four of his teachers assigned summer work) and visiting various campuses. Plus, at some point, he'll try to relax.

The picture is dark because I wanted to mask D's identity to an extent ...
Good news!! Thanks for the update.
This is excellent. It's tough enough to find time and energy to go college hunting; I'm glad the money will be used to help him with that expense. Plus, I hear that application fees are higher than ever.
Good choice. Good luck, D. I like the smile...maybe let it out a little more often?
Peace....
That's great he can use it for college visits--they can get expensive. He should be eligible to get college application fees waived, I bet.
Good luck with your college hunt, D!
