    Ice Cream Dreams and Important Conversations

    In this episode of Middle School Miles, the journey takes a more meaningful turn—without losing its humor along the way. Starting the day in Memphis with chocolate croissants and bagels, the trip quickly shifts into something deeper with a visit to the National Civil Rights Museum. Through exhibits, stories, and powerful moments, Sharlotte reflects on fairness, equality, and what it really means to treat people the way you want to be treated. The conversation explores big questions in a very real, middle-school way—what matters, why speaking up is important, and how history connects to what’s happening today. From there, it’s back on the road toward Little Rock, Arkansas (with future stops, ice cream debates, and questionable “great ideas” along the way). As always, school doesn’t just happen on a screen—it happens through experiences, conversations, and the world outside the window. It’s a mix of humor, curiosity, and growth—proving that sometimes the most important lessons happen far beyond the classroom.

    Caves, Storms, and a Surprise Best Friend

    This episode of Middle School Miles is exactly what happens when school, travel, and life collide—in the most chaotic way possible. After wrapping up a conference in Richmond, the journey turns into a whirlwind of long drives, wild weather (including snow and a midnight tornado), and unexpected moments along the way. But the highlight? Meeting a new friend and instantly becoming inseparable—complete with a sleepover full of late-night laughs and just enough trouble to make it memorable. From exploring Colonial Williamsburg (and accidentally sitting on a cookie) to getting chased off a Walmart parking lot, the road trip continues through rest stops, food halls, and new destinations like Elizabethtown and Mammoth Cave—aka the “sketchy cave.” Along the way, Sharlotte shares what it’s like balancing online school with life on the road, where schedules shift, mornings start late, and every day brings something completely new. It’s a funny, honest snapshot of growing up while constantly moving—where learning doesn’t just happen on a screen, but everywhere in between.
