The Future Looks Bright!

Shhhh!   Don't tell anyone but I am going to share something with you without permission.  YIKES!  But I am pretty sure that, other than some embarrassment if she realizes it, it will be okay since it was written on a public blog.

My son's girlfriend is starting her senior year of college at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA.  Laura is quite a lovely young lady who is a dual major - voice and elementary education.  Her dad is a principal in PA and her mom is a music teacher. 

Laura had an amazing opportunity this year to visit Paraguay, with one of her professors and another student, as part of a grant.  She left at the beginning of August and will return tomorrow and then back to college to begin her Sr. year next week. 

As part of the trip, the college asked for the travelers to write several blog posts.  You can find them here.  But in particular, I wanted to share an insight from an up and coming teacher.  In her August 10th entry, she writes:

Our focus always needs to be on the students. To meet their needs, stretch their minds, open their eyes to the world around them.

Well said Laura...well said.  Let's agree to take our students on an amazing adventure as we embark upon this school year!
