Alpaca socks help diabetics with cold feet

This week's blast of snow and cold weather brought many customers into our store in search of warm alpaca socks. I often get to visit with them to understand their needs. A recurring theme I hear from them is cold feet due to diabetes. As a nurse, I witnessed first-hand the toll diabetes takes on my patient's bodies. I also witnessed it in my own family, losing my brother Craig to the disease two years ago.

In defense of TFA

Full disclosure: I had never heard of Teach for America (TFA) before some of my college friends applied for the program. Two years later I've shared some of the triumphs and trials of my friends as they adjust to their lives as new teachers. While these shared experiences do not make me an expert, I have become acquainted with the fundamental functions and goals of the program. TFA is an educational initiative that recruits motivated, passionate individuals to become teachers in low-income districts for at least two years. The program aims to mold these individuals into leaders in education, either as teachers or administrators, in an effort to help alleviate educational disparities. Mr. Manning's depiction of this program ("Rely on insta-teachers? Idahoans say no thanks") does not accurately describe my friends as teachers, nor TFA as a whole.
