This week's story is Maria's story.
Maria is an exuberant book lover who teaches and LOVES teaching first grade. Maria and I chat for awhile about books and the magic of stories and literature, but we dig into her story of pursuing teaching and what it is about teaching that she loves to do, regardless of the struggles facing helping professions. This conversation, like most between friends, is a little bit of everything, and I hope that you'll feel energized and inspired by Maria the way that I do.
