Ms. Krista Langlois Imagine the craziest roller coaster ride you've ever been on...Now add super hormones, social angst, mother bears (and daddy bears), a big dash of "Dumb and Dumber" humor, ego, legislative red tape, gracious humility and humanity when least expected, tears, heartbreaks, hugs, high fives, knuckle bumps, amazing moments of learning, and a huge love for what you do...multiply that by about 200...shake it all up together and label it a calling...It's the greatest job in the world (even when it isn't)! There is nothing else I could imagine doing.
