In Part 2 of the Worth The Journey series "First-Year Reflections", Angie and Jeff talk with McCord Middle School 6th grade teacher Abby Smullen. Abby is a life-long Worthington resident who is now teaching in the middle school building that she attended as a student!

Find out how a math test almost derailed her dream of getting into education. Abby talks about the staff members that helped her pass the test, and she shares how co-workers are still answering her questions (and why that's important).

Hear why Abby recreated her classroom in the middle of her first year. You'll also learn about her organizational tips which can help new and veteran teachers.

So empty the dishwasher, lace up your knee-high converse boots and find out why Don't Stop Believing is probably the perfect karaoke song for Abby!
