Thanks for coming back to another episode of "A Look Back with Mr. Meta." Today's show features Josh Wright and Hannah Carver, recent graduates of Liberty High School and I met up with them at Panera Bread to "look back" at our times together!
Hannah will be starting her college career at OSU and Josh is starting his career at Ohio University with the intention of moving to Ohio State after 1st semester.

To say that keeping up with my students is difficult, well, trying to line up these podcasts are just as difficult. But they are all so very satisfying. Today, as I start Season 4 of the show, I sat down with Lauren Bine and Sonya Patel, sophomores at Ohio University and The Ohio State University, respectively, and they made it easy for me to line up the show. They called me and asked to be a part of the podcast.
We met up at the Hyatts Library and spent an hour looking back at their time in college, high school and back in 8th grade at Hyatts.

Today, over the Thanksgiving Break, Hunter Hart, an Eagle News alumni came back to his 8th grade roots to spend some time in the classroom and in the EaglesBeak podcast studio with me! This was a lot of fun! We also did an on air video for our Eagle News broadcast!
Enjoy!

Emma and Maci

So for this week's show, I hung out with a couple of my old Eagle News kiddos, Maci and Emma. They are both moving into their junior years at Liberty High School in August. It was an absolute blast for me to hang out with these young ladies. Emma is a big basketball junkie and Maci is big in to cross country and Disney! I loved listening to their stories of our times in eagle news as well as what's going on now and a look into their future! Enjoy this, because I did! Download the show

Lee Ann Perorazio

Lee Ann and I enjoy some Bob Evans! Tonight, I was able to finally line up a show with an old student of mine from Scioto Ridge in 3rd grade and then in 8th grade in Middle School. She has been a student that moved into town when I was teaching 3rd grade. I remember that some of her family was from East Liverpool and that started a connection to her and her family that has continued to this day! I was so honored to shake her hand at graduation, an honor that means the world to a teacher and is held so very special to me. Our plan to record this podcast was a couple months in the making and when we finally set it up, we had to make some changes tonight and I kept texting her trying to find the right place to meet. I had finally said to her, "Can you tell that I am a little excited to talk?" When we finally started the show, she talked about her studying abroad experience for about the first 35 minutes of the show. It is an amazing story. It made me think of my times abroad to bring my kids home. What also is funny about this time with Lee Ann, is that the stuff that connects us, 3rd and 8th grade was hard to remember, but as we talked about it, some memories started to come back to both of us. This was a good time, good conversation and a little bit of food from Bob Evans! Lee Ann, thank you for your time! You and your family will ALWAYS have a part of my heart! Enjoy! Download the Podcast
