For those of you who were unaware, I will be joining ~8,500 people who have made a commitment to Teach for America. I will be teaching in South Louisiana for the next two years, and hope that my new blog will help me sort through my experiences, and also keep in touch with some of you.
What I learned quite quickly while in France was that telling the same great stories is dreadful, but guilt-tripping people into reading a blog so you don't have to say the same things over and over is great!
With that in mind, I invite you all here: http://mary-latola.blogspot.com/
There's not much there now, but hopefully it will be better soon!

I have always enjoyed the universality of my name. Wherever you can find a Bible, you can find a translation of my name. In France, my family could not say “Mary.” After several hours of them adopting a ridiculous American accent and trying to say my name, I now go by "Marie." This is just one of a few things I’ve accepted as part of ma vie en France. In this blog, I’m going to try and key you in about other interesting stories during my time abroad! Enjoy!
