It may be early in the game, but I’m already feeling some mad love for my fellow Cohort 18 Fellows! Can I get a witness??

I’ve met quite a few of you so far and you are all so amazingly talented, positive and focused. It’s very impressive. We’re in for an exciting year full of joys and stresses, but I’m convinced we’ve got the strength individually and collectively to get ‘er done.

I can’t wait to see how these friendships blossom as we turn into skilled teachers. Please everybody keep your heads up. Let’s figure out ways to turn this hiring freeze into frozen non-alcoholic drinks (or something…looking for a metaphor…not finding one.)

Don't worry, it's virgin.
