As part of my Music Ed application, I was required to make a video of myself teaching a group of elementary schoolers. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty scared.

I said that would probably be a little strange." Side note: He sent it to the wrong Sarah Freeman, so I never got it. 2. He appreciates good television. "So I've been e-mailing Michael Scott. I thought you would appreciate that he's been working in the mission office. Please think about th...
