About Kylee Ponder

I’m out of Williamsburg and down the road in the beautiful city of Richmond. Come on now, could you really have expected me to move farther than a quick drive back to the city that holds my heart forever? I’m missing Williamsburg now – missing those students from my 2nd grade student teaching classroom, missing Blue Talon burgers on the grass in CW, missing drives on the Colonial Parkway with best friends, and definitely missing weekend breakfasts at Five Forks and Shorty’s.

But I’m having new experiences – new experiences teaching fourth graders, living on my own in RVA, getting to spend more time with college friends, making new connections, and eating my way through a city with some of the most delicious food that the United States has to offer (it’s not just my opinion, I swear…).

These new experiences are about to be incredible and life-changing and terrifying, but they wouldn’t be possible without all of the love, support, and preparation that William & Mary has given me. And that’s something that I’ll never forget, even when I’m not 45 minutes down the road anymore.
