Feeling Blessed

As I reflect on the experiences that I have had since 2012, I have been so blessed. In 2012 traveling to Japan, as my first major international experience, was life changing. I don't think I have been on a single international trip that hasn't changed me in some way. My teaching improves with each journey and I like to think that I improve as well.

In the last three years I have had the privilege to travel to 11 different countries, and each time I have brought something back to my classroom. My life and classroom has been transformed. In 2012 I was an alternate to go to Japan, this year in 2015, I found out that I was one of the top applicants for the 2015 National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellowships. It is indescribable how privileged and blessed I feel. 


I got the phone call when I was still processing the once in a lifetime opportunity to attend the 70th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. All of these experiences continue to humble me.
