Berlin Rotary
Throughout 2012, I had the chance to speak at local not-for-profit and civic organizations. Back in February 2012, I spoke at the Berlin NJ Rotary and received an award that I was honored to accept. I am touched by the fact that I have been noticed for all that I do. I spent most of […]
Reflecting on 2012 – Wallace Middle School
