ANOTHER CRAZY TURN IN THE WHEEL OF FATE!
HI GUYS!
I am sure that most of you have heard that over the summer I go some MOST unwelcome news. I was disgnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer. I am currently at home, preparing to begin treatment at the Kennestone cancer center.
I absolutely HATE that I will not be back with you in the fall. I was extremely excited to hit the ground running particularly after our messed up fall last year. That being said, Mr T and Mr A have been hard at work securing someone who we REALLY trust to cover for me while I am out. I hope that we will be able to announce that officially before too much longer. Please keep me in your thoughts. If you know anything about me, you know that I am not going to go down without a fight.
TO THE CLASS OF 2014--- you guys have busted your butts to line yourself up for college in beautiful style. Your grades are good, your work is good. You are on point. DO NOT SET DOWN just because I am not there to nag and poke and windle at you. You can do it. No whining---no excuses. Get into college. Get it done!

I cannot tell you how much the positive and encourgaing remarks from my sudents have truly helped me through my journey thus far. You guys know that the primary thing you can do to help me recover and get back to you is to keep working, keep driving, leave no regrets. Be the best PA student you can be every day. I wish I could make you understand what a great opportunity you have to train daily at the Brook. Ir will go WAY faster than you think. Use every day, use every minute. Be prepared, be focused, work your butt off. That's how you can help me. You can rededicate yourself to this thing you said you wanted.
I really do love teaching at CCCEPA and I have the gift of perspective to tell you...use your time at the Brook wisely. It goes quickly and there is so much to be garnered from program like ours. Don't waste time!
