POMP, CIRCUMSTANCE:  With much happiness, plus an ample dose of "wow, time flies," I am pleased to announce that ALOTT5MA Middle Junior Correspondent Maddy, who first made her presence known to us as a high school junior in January 2009, and for whom we've had lots and lots of advice and questions regarding her mindset over the years, today has graduated from Scripps College.  Huzzah!

  13. We'll let Maddy speak for herself, since I don't want to violate her privacy, but I will say that she has a post-college job (related to her passion, no less!) in the Bay Area. Huzzah!

  15. Thanks, everyone! You all are awesome! Sorry for the delay in response - I've been packing/flying home. As Matt mentioned, I'm starting a disability advocacy job in the Bay Area later this summer, which I am really, really excited about. And I'm with you all - I don't know where the time went!
