Dear @GovRicketts a year ago our lives as teachers changed like no other. We have been teaching face to face and remote since August. All we ask is for a little boost and light at the end of the tunnel. Please vaccinate teachers sooner than later. Its not to much to ask. Thanks!!

I've learned a life lesson this week. It is very difficult being in high school. It is very difficult during prom for girls. Friends can be mean, students can be mean to others and it breaks my heart to see this. Know that if you are struggling there are good people out there!
