"...and the granite of New Hampshire is made part of them till death..."


The last couple of months have been a whirlwind! I left Dartmouth a few weeks earlier than my classmates to head to Houston, TX and start training to be a teacher with Teach for America. Flying back for graduation weekend was an emotional and bittersweet experience, and it felt sort of surreal saying my official goodbyes to Dartmouth. But luckily, I've been distracted by a busy schedule and haven't had much time to be sad about leaving my friends and my home for the past 4 years. This summer has been an incredible experience for me, and I've already learned so much and met so many new and wonderful people. Next week I'll be moving to Fort Worth, TX, and beginning in August I'll be teaching 10th grade Chemistry and assistant coaching the women's volleyball team at Diamond Hill-Jarvis High School! I'm so excited to be doing what I'm doing, and even though I'll miss Dartmouth, I love knowing that the experiences I had there are benefiting me every new place I go.
