So, in my years at Bates, I have been working at elementary schools, and the two elementary schools that I've been at are McMahon Elementary School and Connors Elementary School, and they're both in Lewiston. And so I drew the mascots of both of the elementary schools and wrote their names. 
And this inspires hope in me because I've had the opportunity to connect with a bunch of Lewiston children and they're all so kind and smart and it gives me a lot of hope for the future, but not only Lewiston, but also the world and America in general, because connecting with these students has been such a special experience. And I really appreciate these schools and the opportunities that they provide for their students.
