I made it back

by Rob Shenk

To say I made it back is no small statement. I didn't do as well as I had hoped last semester, and there was a moment when my return was in question. But, thankfully, I am here.

My first week went alright. I have a class of students that asks a lot of questions, but I tend to prefer that. It keeps me on my toes and thinking about new approaches. My goal is to use more technology this semester.

At first glance, my classes seem manageable. I will be doing a lot of research and writing this semester. A LOT! But it will help me grow academically, right?

So suffice it to say that I will take all of the encouragement I can get again this semester. I'm blessed to be here, and I believe that there is a purpose for my journey. But when I get tired, I can always use cheerleaders.
