2021 was a very strange year for me. While we were coming off of the isolation that the pandemic forced us into, I had a change of location for my job, and then got a job finally teaching. Sadly, I also had to deal with the death of my grandmother and one of my dogs. …
When I was in second grade, my teacher told my mom that I would make a great teacher. Ever since that moment, I latched on to the idea of being a teacher. In high school, I had the wonderful opportunity to work in the Education and Training Academy that my school had, and that fully …
Hello lovelies! I have been gone for a while due to me getting used to teaching, and boy is that still something I'm adjusting to. Fortunately, I have made it through my first semester of school! Let me just say that I am exhausted. We are out for two weeks, and then we're back to …
