Donations are now over $29.000. I sent an email to Willis High School. It wasn’t nasty, I told them how they could help Diane. I did say she was too smart for Willis High School.
Diane is finishing the 11th grade right now. It’s possible for private Rice University in Houston, to give her place out exams and admit her now. Rice is for really smart kids. My son was one of them, and he took place out exams for Engligh and History and Math and went on to more advanced courses there.
Texas A&M, where I think she said her brother is going, is also for exceptional students. She could take place out exams there and likely be admitted.
I’m not through with this case. As a counselor in a high school, I helped kids get into college and I know how that works. Her high school counselor has dropped the ball if she/he ever had it.
I’ll get in touch with her employer where she lives, and see if I can talk to Diane and give some advice about approaching universities to get in now instead of wasting her time for another year at Willis High School.
Once she is in college, she can regulate her time to attend classes and to work. In college, your time is your own to arrange how you want it to be.
Plus, she is so bright, she will get scholarships to perhaps cover all her school expenses so her work money is her own to help her sister and brother. Hopefully, her brother is also working while going to school.
As of now, Monday, 5:00 pm central time, $30,000 has been raised. Diane has three days of school tests starting tomorrow. The goal for money is $50,000 by the time she finishes these tests. Hard to see how she can concentrate on these tests with all that’s happening to her right now.
Please go to Diane Tran facebook page and donate.
In 2014, when this judge runs again, I will make every effort to see that this barely high school graduate judge, gets kicked out. He can’t even write a decent complete sentence. He should be jailed for being stupid.
You — are an angel. Thank you for any and every effort, even in the least.
