About Me

I'm a 25 year old Christian girl originally from Kokomo, IN. I spent the last two years teaching US History and Govt at a high school outside of Seattle. I'm making the big move to DC in the fall to go to George Washington University to get my masters in Ed. Policy. Ahhh, life is changing....Layout made by pam66 at CreateBlog.com .
