Thursday Late Marathon Day Blog of the Day

First of all thank you to CC for reminding me there were actual assignments we had to do for this class. (Well, maybe not really thank you because now I have work to do, but at least now I won't flunk out for not doing anything that is required!)  :=)  I realized (thanks Pat!) that as a host Thursday, I was supposed to post the day's blog...oops! Better late than never.

As people were finishing up their learning autobiographies today, I couldn't help but be amazed at the bravery in so many of our stories.

• Traveling to Israel
• Giving up your baby and adopting a baby
• Hitchhiking to Virginia with nothing but the shirt on your back (and surviving)
• Teaching in New York City (and surviving)
• Fearlessly coming out
• Fighting and beating cancer
• Changing careers
• Becoming a teacher even after such a difficult time in school yourself
• Running through town wearing a coconut bra or a toga
• Going into those needy students' homes
• Sharing personal, tragic events that would crush anyone's soul
• Sharing all these things out loud to a group of strangers
• and so much more...

You are all very inspiring!
