“I am forever becoming a teacher.” Wise words that aren’t often understood by the non-teaching public. Glad you got your slice in, sometimes it’s a challenge to beat that deadline. But this was one worth waiting for.

Thank you, Ramona. I know the general public doesn’t understand a lot of things about being a teacher. I just read that we only really become teachers in the presence of our students. I thought that was an amazing statement and absolutely true.
