I teach at a school named "hope"

I'm impressed with how much the kids at school today knew about the election.  They were so excited to have a black man as President, finally, someone who looks like them or at least isn't white.  They have so much optimism and hope for the future.  It's inspiring just to be around them, and I hope they never lose that positive energy.

Teaching is tough but it's so totally worth it.  This is historic, both the election and what we're doing with public education in New Orleans.  We have the potential to change the world if we seize the moment.
