  • ASMILEwithAnna Aug 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

    A3 I have to start with #tlap—it reaffirmed my true self. There are so many after that but most likely #REALedu because it spoke to my heart and helped me process my tough year last year. Then #XPLAP because it’s going to be a big part as I gamify this year. @dbc_inc is amazing!
