She was struggling in school and falling behind because of an overwhelming feeling of grief. I chose to be vulnerable, share my own struggles and coping mechanisms with this student. To this day, she still writes me emails and letters keeping me updated on her positive changes! ]]> 2019-04-07 15:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliemacek/j71okfz2u8ix/wish/349256629 emiliemacek https://padlet.com/emiliemacek/j71okfz2u8ix/wish/349256763 I definitely was an antagonist anytime my brother and I were together growing up.

We were always causing obstacles for each other; however, we worked through this, grew up and now are each other's biggest supporters! ]]> 2019-04-07 15:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliemacek/j71okfz2u8ix/wish/349256763
