Teacher Tom’s bittersweet morning

This morning, Dwight dropped me off at the beautiful old Franklin Library so I could summon the energy for one final session with a Somali American ELL learner. I hugely admire the way she’s shown up for our 90-minute sessions every week for over a year despite working multiple jobs and raising a family. I’m grateful for Somali Americans: as with previous waves of immigrants, they are an essential part of the Minneapolis community.
