ECC Day 276: “Branching Out” Branching out is what Nakia named it when she ate @chipotle for the first time. She wasn’t sure what to order, how the food would taste; she decided to go for it and try something new. In this case, it was successful; she enjoyed it!

This is what it’s like to love what you do; work with people you care about; and those people care about young people. I hope we will live to experience a time when positive, necessary changes in education do no
