Saying Goodbyes :(

This week I had to say goodbye to one of my sweetest students. When she first came to our school, she spoke no English. She's learned so much and I am so proud of her!

But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...
