People who are soulful and real. They're the best kind of people. Kids are naturally like this, they don't feel the need to impress anyone, they haven't realized that it's "cool" to be apathetic, detached, competitive, or busy.
But what I find most impressive is when adults are this way. I am thankful, during this season where we are all count our blessings, to say that I have genuine, beautiful people in my life. People that remind me that contrary to popular opinion, life is not contest or race, and to treat it as such would be a sad, sad waste. People who march to the beat of their own drum.

| Jamie- a super inspirational future teacher. we happened to blindfold and "kidnap" her to the park for her birthday one year. i love this girl. |
I'm thankful for my fellow future teachers (Jamie and Erin!) who are inspirational people AND inspirational teachers in a state and country where finding original, enthusiastic educators marching to the beat of their own drum is rare indeed. You guys make me excited about our career and the future. Thank you for that.

| my godparents, i could not ask for better mentors. |
Towards the end of the semester, I always struggle to see past my final exam date. I zone in on grades and deadlines, and it's always nice to have a reminder of that's not really what life is about. I strive to be genuine and real and pursue things that are as well. I love people who remind me of this goal by striving for it themselves day after day. Also, aunts that are willing to take silly mustache pictures with you are pretty rad. :)
