I&#8217;ve been virtually visiting students at this school for a number of years and have such respect for their media specialist, Tiffanie, who has an infectiously positive and generous perspective on life. I also love how her students come up with the BEST questions. There were about 9 classes participating in the session and each one had 3 questions. My favorite question from yesterday was, if you could tell your younger self something, what would it be? My answer: that the people who told me I was a slow learner were wrong. I was a different learner, and that would ultimately be a gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have to say, meeting with students is one of the most wonderful aspects of being a writer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiffanie made my day when she emailed this after the session: WOW! WOW! WOW!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have a magical way of engaging our students sparking curiosity that lasts way beyond your visit! You answered their questions with such grace, care, and honesty. We loved it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a wonderful visit with Roberts Elementary in Gwinnett County, Georgia last week.
