What am I doing?

My capstone project for my senior year will be a hands-on tutoring and daycare facility for children who cannot be in school full time due to various illnesses and disabilities. It keeps them updated with school and their classwork with state of the art psychologists and educators. Through extensive research in school reintegration, I have managed to gather enough knowledge about how the process works with keeping adolescents in tune with their grade levels.

This project is inspired by the hundreds of kids I have helped through M.D. Anderson's Children's Cancer Hospital, especially Delany Starcher. She is my inspiration throughout this semester. A quick history behind her: Delaney was a 5-year-old patient at M.D.A. who had a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Clioma (or, more simply, a tumor on her brainstem). She passed away two years ago because they could not operate on the area where her tumor was located. She could not be in school full time due to various treatments and physical/speech therapy sessions that would last hours in the day.
