Hello Everyone

[Joyce Franke]

Hello,
Russ I think this is a great idea to keep everyone updated and
connected.
Just a little update about me, I graduated in May with my degree in
Elementary and Special Education. I finally moved away from Pullman
for the first time in 23+ years. I have a job in Pasco as a Special Ed
Resource Teacher. Which means, I teach children who have mild to
moderate disabilities. So far I have been in school a week and a day,
and it is the most difficult thing I have ever done. My job is a
split position between two elementary schools. That too is way more
challenging than I ever thought it would be. Everyone keeps on telling
me to take it one day at a time, and I keep on telling myself to take
it one hour at a time. This is what I have wanted to do for a long
time, and I know this is where God wants me right now. I love the Tri-
cities area and also love visitors. So if you are in the area give me
a call. I would love to see a familiar face or two (since I don't
know many people here yet).
