The sad reality

Today I was suppose to meet with my apprentices to discuss the preliminarily designs for the Tempest. Shortly before the appointed time, I received a call from one of the girls...she had to withdraw from the program for personal reasons.

It tears my heart, to see someone so engrossed and passionate about something, not able to follow through because of the realities of the world around them...family problems, health, financial limitations...

This program provided an outlet. She no longer has that outlet.

The other girl...

Well, she really just needs a dose of responsibility.
