Respect for Teach for America

I used to think people who did Teach for America had fairy tale stories. However, working as a teacher this summer and dealing with kids facing a diversity of issues has increased the respect I have for teachers and those who do programs like Teach for America which specifically works in schools experiencing some difficulties. Teachers spend a lot of time with the kids and now I can even see how my teachers impacted me. I must say they were some of the most positive and fun loving people. Some were ratcheted lol but I mainly remember their calmness and pep talks. 

# Shout out to anyone who has taught me at home, school, church, or anywhere!
