Hello Tara,
I had an idea as far as a guest speaker. As a freshman in college, I
have been exploring my horizons and trying out different classes. I
feel that it would be very benefitial to everyone if I did a little
speech about what to do when meeting a new teacher. I had some very
interesting experiences this year that I would really love to share
and I feel like they have made me a better person.
Let me know what you think,
Terese.
