It’s been a while since I have seen a mountain, not to mention climb one. As a “former” mountaineer  I have always felt that feeling or should we call it the “itch” to climb every now and then. Seeing the mountains up here at Cullowhee NC brings a lot of excitement knowing that I can commune with nature at its best.

I have a lot of expectations coming here for the Kenan Fellows Professional Advancement Institute 1. I hope to learn more from other fellows, know more about the expectations from me and be inspired to do more . This is really a good place to be in, surrounded by wonderful teachers who have made so much differences in the lives of kids and other teachers as well.

I want to meet people that could inspire me more and learn from; professionals who made great impacts, who made changes for the better and who makes me realize what a wonderful profession it is that I have chosen.

I’m beginning to think I will not be disappointed.
