Memorial Day

Thank you to everyone who has served or is currently serving our country. You are the people that help make America the wonderful place it is.

I don’t mean for this post to be a side note. Not in any way. However, there aren’t enough words to express the sadness and reflection this day brings for me and my country, so instead of filling it up with superfluous words, I just wanted to remind myself and us all to never forget.

Strength

A few summers ago my family and I spent a couple of days in Boston. I immediately fell in love with the city, its beauty, and the strength and dedication of its people. There really is a comradeship in its people, who are so warm and inviting. It’s one of the most American cities I […]

What A Week…Already

We’re halfway through the week! Hooray! This week, I’ve begun my job at the writing center and my weekly five hours in a high school classroom. I’m not allowed to get too detailed on here, but both have been going quite well! Working, pre-student teaching, going to class, doing homework, and working as a study […]
