Deanna and I were in the same seminar class this last fall that went along with our student teaching. With there only being 5 of us in the class, it provided a small setting and aided us in becoming closer to one another and hearing about each others lives. Deanna was always so passionate about teaching and wanting what was best for the students. She was extremely creative when it came to her lessons as well. I remember she made a unit plan about the different types of rocks and associated them with different types of rock music, it was so clever and original I just knew she was doing exactly what she was supposed to do in life; teach.
Deanna, you were kind, generous and genuine. You never had to put a front up and that's what I liked about you most. You were just you.
Until we meet again
