The Embattled Teacher →
“How do you make your way?” Stengel asks. “You have to be someone who can articulate what you are doing and why. You have to be a community builder, and you have to be an articulate student advocate. You have to identify what is getting in the way of your students getting what they need. You won’t be a good teacher until you can do these things.”
My favorite teacher (Stengel) and my advisor...

Pre-Departure Thoughts
So, in about 14 hours I’ll be on a plane heading straight to Rome, Italy.
Wait…what?
This trip was sort of a pleasant surprise in my life. I wasn’t really expecting to study abroad in college due to financial reasons (and while I thankfully received some sort of scholarship, I’m still feeling the burden of going abroad). In light of the surprise that is this absolutely...

Saying goodbye is hard. Even if it’s only for a few months.
I’m gonna try and write something using more words later when it’s not 4 in the morning. Argh. There’s like this huge lump in my chest and it just makes me want to cry for a long time.
