First day of tutoring

[greybeta]

So, today was my first day working for GEAR UP, a program that helps fills out tutors at summer school programs. I chose to help out with a 7th grade math class. Now see, these kids are the ones who are there because they're behind. A lot of them don't want to be there. Then again, most kids would want to be anywhere else than school during the summer.

I was reminded that choosing to be a teacher has its own challenges. A big part of my time will be teaching kids who are considered to be below the average. People who are given less of a chance, statistically speaking.

Well, here I go and throw my hat into the ring.

nononono...

I was getting worried - so I did a death record search here:
http://www.courtregistry.org

DANIEL TU 20 Fort Smith AR 72908

There's a record for a Daniel Tu, 20 from Fort Smith AR - which is Greybeta's home town.

Oh please don't let this be true.

I don't have the $40 to validate this, but from here (http://www.courtregistry.org/index.php?xpath=validate&xvalidate=Registry&records_state=&xpricetype=&xrecordstype=Death&cat=&city=&fullstate=Oklahoma&firstname=Daniel&lastname=Tu&state=OK&lastname=Tu&country=USA&Session=FSFWTYQTYDFUWGFYDGGDGWGUDHDHWIDIJWIDHIWSDWGDGHIWJHJSHWUIDHFGFEGWGGOOPR&house_number=&street_name=&street_suffix=&areacode=&phonenumber1=&phonenumber2=&company=&email=&phone=&ssn=&ip=&client_reference=CourtRegistry.org&signup_url=www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?link=proniche/3/Check_Death_Records_for_Daniel_Tu&jt=Standard&middle_initial=&header=Death%20Records%3C/head%3E%3Cbody%20leftmargin=) it looks like this might be true.

Oh please don't let this be true.
Does anyone have any more information???

Well, I'm feeling really broke, but I did search the local newspaper and his school paper and did not see any kind of death notice....

:(

I couldn't find anything else either.

he just seems to have disappeared from the internet as of last June... :(

I'm hoping he's okay!!!

I left him a phone message as well. His cell phone is still turned on, but I don't know what that means.

Daniel would have been 21 at the time of his last post, so if they claim he died at 20 that's inaccurate. The last I heard of him, he had fallen back into his depression and moved back to Fort Smith. Granted that was back in September. My fiancee and I try to ask around every so often to see if anyone we know has any new news. If I come up with anything else, I'll post it here.
