Vija, one of our tutors, was chosen as the speaker for this year's graduation convocation. She was very nervous during the week or so leading up to the ceremony: even though she applied for the opportunity, she still realized that it involved speaking in front of many, many people.
As if that didn't make her nervous enough, she received a call here at the Learning Center from The Aztec Press asking if she would mind if they did a little piece on her. They also asked if she would mind if they sent a photographer down to Desert Vista to catch her in her natural tutoring habitat. Vija wrangled a student/friend into sitting down with her in a manufactured (but still very real and helpful) tutoring session. They discussed the finer points of an essay while the photographer snapped pictures from across the table.
The resulting story-plus-photo can be found in the newest edition of the Aztec Press (or right here). Pick up a print copy and bring it by for Vija to sign for you. She'll love that.
