YEEEAAA TFA Summit weekend! I had been looking forward to this trip for so long, seeing old friends, making new ones and getting re-inspired about the mission. I achieved all this and more and even though I payed for it by being behind and exhausted for a week following, I still feel invigorated and so proud to be part of something much bigger than myself.

Best of all (not to downplay the enormous collective impact of 28,000 teachers, 20 years or a summit boasting 11,000 people all dedicated to providing an equal education to all children in America), I got to see my best girlfriend from college, EMILY ADELMAN. Emily and I are a special breed because we were friends from moment one (even before the moment SHE clams we became friends, when I showed up at her dorm room door freshman year dressed like 'Flashdance') and we just have such a wonderful dynamic. So amazingly good to see her!
