1,500 DAYS OF BOW TIES. 2 GENTLEMAN TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE.

Meet Jeffrey Armando Vasquez, a math teacher in Bushwick, Brooklyn who is celebrating his 1,000th consecutive day of teaching this month.  As if that weren't a triumph in its own, Jeffrey has set a new challenge for himself - and plans on teaching for another 1,000 days (with no vacation or sick days) to raise money for the Achievement First schools.  To spice it up, he will be wearing a different bow tie, every day, for those 1,000 days.  Yup, that's 2 years and 269 days (leap year accounted for) of bow ties.  Good luck, Jeffrey!

And 3,000 miles away in Califormia, Aaron Cocjin has been on a quest to find happiness after a difficult break-up.  He found comfort in the one thing that always brought a smile to his face since elementary school - wearing a bow tie.  This March, Aaron will complete his adventure of having worn a bow tie every day, for the past 500 days.  So the big questions is, did it work?
