Sunday Reflections: They Don’t Care About Your Test Scores, They Are Just Trying to Survive
Each time I sit in the Teen MakerSpace and talk with my teens, I learn something new. It’s a revelation to have them trust you enough to pull back the curtain on their lives and see the struggles they face. In an ideal world, every policy maker, every politician, every corporation would have to take […]

Sunday Reflections: What if Best Friends Aren’t Forever?
My half of my BFF necklace sits in a box in my closet. I don’t know what happened to the other half; maybe it flew out the car window that fateful day our junior year that changed my life forever. Maybe they took it off of her when they loaded her into the ambulance, trying […]
