Why I'm Here

by

When I started teaching four years ago, I found that I had a lot to say but not enough understanding to say it well. Since then, I've gotten married to another teacher, worked in a couple different schools with a lot of different people, and even taken on a few leadership roles.

Having recently started my newest endeavor in a new state, I find myself returning to the idea that I have things to say about teaching, albeit this time with a little experience. See, while I've taught in two different schools, two and a half of those years four years were spent at one school. I know this isn't a great deal of time to work at a school, but I developed as a teacher at that school, having been hired on as an aide and eventually promoted to English & Journalism Teacher. Since moving on from that experience, I've realized that I had a lot of worthwhile experiences that I never took the time to write down. And, well, I don't want to make that mistake again.

So, here I am, hoping to have more worthwhile experiences and a place to record them.
