Teaching
Learning and Growing
After three overwhelming and discouraging weeks, I walked into my classroom with confidence yesterday. I went on a college retreat this past weekend, which was such a refreshing break from my worries and fears of teaching, and I came home with a different perspective on life.

My VBS crew
