• fall is my favorite time of year
• my students continue to amaze me
• 6th graders are crazy - but I love them anyway!
• i'm beginning to see some leaders emerge from my youth - which is exciting
• when I exercise I'm in a better mood and more focused
• facebook occupies too much of my time
• i am occasionally very creative
• over this past year - i have learned how to deal with difficult people - in a more healthy way
• i wish i had taken more pastoral care classes - especially to deal with death.
