“Music can change the world because it can change people” was said by Irish singer/song-writer Bono and I could not find a better way to describe Mr. Farrow.

March 2015 Aspiring Author Spotlight- Mrs. Kate Dillon (AAS #15)
If you want a lady who can do anything and have fun doing it, Kate Dillon is your muse! I first met Kate when I started long-term subbing at FMS a few years ago and she liked me helping out in the afternoons in her gifted classroom. I have never seen a schedule or variety…
February 2015 Aspiring Author Spolight- Ms. Millie Tice (AAS #14)
In the past two years, FMS received some amazing new teachers and some were younger than me, a shocker at the time that I could be considered old! This is how I met Millie. Millie is a lovely, poised teacher, her excitement for her interests as bright as her red hair. I enjoyed having lunch…
January 2015 Aspiring Author Spolight- Ms. Jill Montgomery (AAS #13)
When I was still in high school and in early college, I wanted to start expressing and expanding my fandoms, my interest in being an otaku, a lover of Japanese culture. I had my website for three years at this point and was at least knee deep in anime and manga (which is only a…
December Aspiring Author Spotlight- Chuck Carron (AAS 2014 #12)
Chuck and I go to the same church and I consider him a member of my family. He truly is one of the most creative, dedicated, loving gentlemen I have ever met. He sees light in every person and talents. I have been so honored to sing with him, his passion and advice improving my…

This August marked the start of my third, full contracted year at my local middle school and every year, we have new staff members. On the second day of teacher meetings, I heard a shuffling and some heavy breathing as I sat alone in the front with my school Chromebook, half the room full of…
October Aspiring Author Spotlight- Jodie Llewellyn (AAS 2014 #10)
Back in May, after getting pumped to learn more about others who had dreams of writing like myself, I randomly was being pulled by the strings of fate and typed into Google search the words: “aspiring author.” Now, I’m a teacher, so I knew full well that I was going to get a hodgepodge of…
September Aspiring Author Spotlight- Samantha Washburn (AAS 2014 #9)
Have you have met a person that had so much raw, grand energy that they literally had a spring in their step, a glint in their eyes, a smile tugging their lips at all times? Sam is that girl! She is so spunky, not one bit scared to be who she is and do it…
August Aspiring Author Spotlight- Amber Gonz (AAS 2014 #8)
I’ve always enjoyed the theater. Becoming someone new when my real self was too shy to show. I never wanted to be a starlet, but I adored a sliver of the limelight and this is how I met Amber. Amber and I were in the summer theater camp program at Mineral Area College. She noticed I…
July 2014 Aspiring Author Spotlight- Danny Rodriguez (AAS #7)
If there ever was a guy that was the best like no one ever was…It is Danny! ^o^ Danny and I have only known each other for a few months. Cosplacon was having a Pokémon X and Y handheld competition with gym leaders. At first, I thought I read that it was a partner match….
