Before I die. . .
I got inspired to encourage my students today. One thing that I love about my job is that I can do what I want. I also love it when the ideas that I have actually work.

In summary the death of a family member encouraged her to turn a public space into a place of reflection. Since today was the last day of class before our final I wanted to encourage my students and get them to reflect on their greater purpose beyond being a student. On the board I wrote "Before I die I want to" and I let my students fill in the blank. Here is what they said: It's moments like this that make my role what it was really meant to be.
