maybe it’s time alpha
It’s 0430 on a school morning, and I think my body is done sleeping. I normally wake up at 0515 (0530 if I’m honest) and get ready for school, but this morning is a little different. I had a dream that I saw a lot of my band buddies from college. We were all at…

Stay Strong
The word for the week is: “fuerte”. One of my close friends is teaching me how to speak Spanish, and she taught me that that word means “strong”. Although this picture doesn’t exude me being strong, it does have a purpose. I decided to let the art students paint my face during a serving opportunity…
