I don't want to brag or anything-- but I'm going to.

Which probably only means I'm going to fall flat on my face with this one, but, well, so be it.

I've recieved every grant or award I've ever submitted a proposal for. NOW, that being said, all my other grant and award proposals have always been written with my old teaching partner in Houston, Bar-bra Child$. So, this one that I just completed, that I'm probably MOST proud of was written all on my own. I did have my current teaching partner go over it with me with a fine toothed comb today.

This grant is for a school and community center based community gardening initiative that would allow our school to keep the soup kitchen across the street stocked with fresh veggies, and generate revenue for the school through the sale of fresh salad greens at the rate of $12.00 per pound to local fancy smancy restaurants AND the children would actually end up training adults how to garden in micro-intensive gardens at their own homes, and if they complete the program to have one of the gardens at their own home, a nearly $500 dollar value. Yay, i'm so freekin excited. It's a rather sizeable grant coming in at just under $70,000 dollars. SOOO. Keep your fingers crossed. I just hit the submit button on the FTP upload and my hearts pumping madly. It's crazy how much I love writing grants. Crazy literally though. I get all wrapped up in it. My head is pounding now, my heart is racing and my neck is all in knots. I need some chill and how!

doh, I just remembered a grant Barbra and I didn't get. a 21$t cen#ury grant. but we had lots of 'help' on that one. I think our dynamic duo was much more effective as just the two of us. so, my record isn't flawless. oh darn.
