Side Tangent: Literally Just A Voice Mem...

Patricia Liu
About this episode

On air February 25th, 2020. Recorded February 24th, 2020.

This week is an impromptu bonus episode because Patricia just got back from another Model Congress conference with 15 of her students, 10 of whom brought back awards, six of whom reminded her what it means to teach at a Christian school, and all of whom made her cry on the last night of the trip.

Patricia has a lot of feelings and is also very tired, but here’s a memory dump of the weekend’s events. CHS kiddos, this one’s for you.

Note: The AMA will be posted next week! Send your questions here.
