The thought of paying for a college education seemed impossible. “I couldn’t apply for financial aid, so it just seemed out of reach,” she said.

I also agree with my barber, who is a marksmanship instructor: we need

kids in the picture has made this recent development frightening.   “It has made everything get really real – really quickly,” Yvette Drews said. “It is scary to think about what the future could be, raising two children, one on the autism spectrum, by myself.” But hope is not lost, just pricey. “Until now, the system up here works generally by you walking into a doctor’s office or an emergency room and popping down your care card on the back of your driver’s license,” Keven Drews said. “There is

I used to teach high school Spanish, so I have an actual teaching license. It’s the one practical skill I have, in fact. I do enjoy talking about books and writing more than Spanish, however. The Loft is a very singular place; I’m so lucky it’s in the state I live in! My students are all readers, and they all want to learn how to be better writers. I have a much easier
