When I graduated in the spring of 2005 with my Bachelor of Arts in History and my initial teaching certification in hand, I was excited to teach and challenge the young minds of our…

Lily uses Gerty to feel better about herself, when she gives money for Gerty's Girl's Club: "...she was often bored by the relation of her friend's philanthropic efforts..."
