My life has now come full circle.

Favorite student quote from student teaching last spring:

[Talking about me teaching in Africa for the next year]

Student 1: "Naw, but for real, Miss, you gon' come back changed."

Student 2: "No, she's gonna come back BLACK!"

Yesterday:

Student: [after looking at my ridiculous chaco tan and seeing the skin color my feet were before coming to Korr] "MADAM! Your skin is turning black like ours!"

Yessssssssss.
