This is the first time I have had a guest on for the second time. Mrs. Whitman first made an appearance in season 1 episode 5. Her story is amazing and I highly recommend listening to that episode to hear all about it. Fun fact...Mrs. Whitman's season 1 interview is the second most popular episode of the podcast!! But this interview is a special one because, after 32 years in the classroom, Mrs. Whitman has retired. 

Hard to believe that the West Wing (the 1100 hallway at Tallmadge High School that houses the Social Studies Department) will be absent Mrs. Whitman next year. For so many years she has been a bright and shining star in our hallway. She has taught AP Gov for more years than I can count. Thousands of students have been under mentorship.

Mrs. Whitman is a rock star. She is a passionate educator who has dedicated her life to serving and pouring into others. 

Retirement is well deserved. She will be busy telling her story, volunteering, and taking care of her many, many grandchildren.

Mrs. Whitman, please consider this episode a small tribute to the amazing person that you are. 

On behalf of Tallmadge High School I say THANK YOU for your time in the classroom, THANK YOU for pouring into our kids, THANK YOU for loving what you do and showing up daily for so many years, and THANK YOU for your friendship. 

You are truly an amazing person.

Happy Repurposing!
