Teaching today was brutal. My first class of the day is a normally radiant & full-of-life 6th grade class. Today was heavy. We talked about Adam and being 13. Here's their collective poem
Just thinking about where we were even a month ago makes me emotional. I’m fully vaccinated, my brother is fully vaccinated, my parents got their 2nd shot yesterday and my sister got her first today. That’s a great feeling

When you can get the COVID-19 vaccine, I hope you do—Barack and I are certainly glad we did. It’s our best shot at beating this virus, looking out for one another, and getting back to some of the things we miss. Getting vaccinated will save lives—and that life could be yours.
