The Beginning.

So I was unsure about having a blog, but I read somewhere that people who are public servants owe it to their communities to share their stories.  It feels rather narcissistic detailing my own life, but I realized that this new adventure that I am embarking upon is a story far bigger than just me.  As many of you know, I'm in Dallas with Teach for America, entering the classroom as a young,  idealistic, driven, recent grad that (perhaps foolishly) believes I truly can change the course of the lives of my students.  I'm sure that the next year, and even just the next month, will hold challenges and obstacles that I can't even imagine at the moment, but intertwined with those moments of despair, loneliness, joy, and accomplishment will be the beautiful stories of many others.  I hope to share these with you all in the hopes that you will continue to share with me your own stories.  Let "la aventura" begin!
