Brenna, I am SO enjoying your writings! You are the author of so many life changing moments for your students. And I thought I had a really great 7th grade English teacher because she drilled us on on commas and diagramming sentences. How very trivial compared to the lives you are bettering! Thanks for being you and sharing with us. Love you, Deb
