So Whit got a gig as the first biology teacher at a brand-spankin’-new school. She’s had a couple weeks of teaching classes and I couldn’t be prouder of her!
It’s a real time of growth for her. First of all, her school’s ethnic makeup is totally opposite from her white-bread, Temecula experience. She’s only 9 or 10 years older than her students, which — along with her smallness and hotness — presents its own challenges. Then, for all but a couple of students in her class, Spanish is their at-home language, so communicating with their parents is less-than-straightforward.
Despite all of this, her heart is emboldened and encouraged to teach the CRAP out of those students, and to inspire even the hard-to-reach ones. She’s sick today; she’s been sick all weekend. And she is there, teaching her kiddos despite feeling horrible.
I’m so proud of the teacher that she is. And I can’t WAIT to see the teacher she grows into!!!
