Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship by Michelle Kuo

4.0

I won this in a Goodreads giveaway, and I feel so lucky that I did! Michelle Kuo shares her fascinating experience in rural Arkansas as part of Teach for America. As a fellow educator in rural America, her stories of her students and defining what exactly her role was in their lives hit home for me. Michelle did a wonderful job describing this feeling all aspiring teachers (and possibly seasoned veterans) share of wanting to make a difference while also recognizing your own insignificance. Michelle shows how lives are shaped by the relationships we form and holding them close to our hearts.
