“I came into the teaching world hoping to just pass on my love for reading and writing, which was very limited to the reasons and ways that I loved it. Instead, I realized it has to be able to fit other people's lives, not just my experience. So I’ve learned that a lesson, an idea that I thought was brilliant and worked really well with one group isn't going to be the same in every group. And often, each new group brings fresh takes to things that I should be open to.”
