To The Students That Changed Everything For Me

I never thought that a group of high school seniors could change me so much.

To the students that changed my life,

At the beginning of the semester, I didn't know how much walking through those front doors would change my life. To be honest, I was extremely scared about what was going to happen during this field placement.

Walking through the school hallways on my first day was a major wake up call. High school became more than just four walls but it became almost a safe haven of love and support.

You kiddos, my kiddos, have brought so much joy to me. Your stories have shown me just how courageous and strong all of you are.

Don't get me wrong, your strong-headiness also made me frustrated at times, but we always got through it. I know that you guys have everything that it takes to change this world.

Some of you have seen some of the worst that the world has to offer but you never let that bring you down. You push harder than anyone that I know so that maybe one day you can get out of your environment.

All of you have shown me that anything in this world is possible if I push myself to where I want to be.

There are no words to describe how much I love every single one of you.

You are all capable of so much that I will not be surprised when one of you becomes a great leader. You all have the tools and abilities to move on to the next chapter of your life. And don't you dare let anyone tell you that you cannot graduate or that you cannot go to college.

You can do anything that you put your mind to!

Over this semester, I have learned more about persevering through anything no matter the circumstance. I don't think that I have ever loved a group of high schoolers this much before. A little secret is that on my last day with you guys I cried in my car for 20 minutes in the middle of the school parking lot.

I wish nothing but the best for you for the rest of this year and as you go on to college. I am so grateful that I ended up placed with your senior class as my field placement.

Love,

A Forever Changed College Student

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
