They Call Me "BOGO"

If only I had the time or the words to talk about the transformation from "Abisola" to "BOGO." Once again, I found myself surrounded by people I barely knew in a place that I had never been, doing something I wasn't exactly comfortable with--a recipe for an awesome AB experience! Throughout my time in Chicago, I gained a much deeper appreciation for teachers and what they work through as well as the complications in the public education system. Several of the education majors on the trip exposed me to the passion and determination that I had taken for granted during my primary education. The students came to class with a desire to learn and be challenged but they also showed up every day just wanting to feel like a kid. After all, that's what they were! Life can harden us, ripen us far before we're ready to be plucked and shared with the world. I saw how people deal with it, work through it and come out on top!
