I don't know exactly when it happened, but I am a teacher. I have transitioned from learning all of these abstract concepts and strategies, from feeling so far from my goal of becoming an educator, from never feeling adequate, to knowing what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and how to be successful at it. It feels good. Really good.

I graduate from college in eight months. In January, I'll be in charge of an entire classroom by myself. I will be the one implementing three and a half years of classes worth of information on how to be an effective teacher. I will have to teach, manage, control, and befriend twenty six or seven year olds every single day.



My heart cannot wait.

me, myself, and i

I am a daughter, a sister, a friend.
I'll tell you I hate popcorn when asked because I think I don't like it,but really I do.
I can't fake how I feel.
I love to laugh so hard that I cry. It's my absolute favorite thing to do.
I could live solely on dessert.
I care too much what people think about me.
I love teaching young minds. There is nothing more important to me.
I'm a terrible liar.
I am very sarcastic.
I love green peas and soy beans.
I sometimes come across as snobby. Please don't judge me for that, I'm just incredibly shy.
In discussion, I wont add much to the conversation, but I love to listen. I find I learn the most that way.
Inside jokes make me so happy.
Sometimes I wish I was poor.
I've never been one to have many friends, but the friends I do have are incredible.
I desire to be a part of something bigger than myself.
I hate confrontation and if it's needed, I usually get walked all over.
I have an unhealthy and weird fear of mushrooms. They really freak me out. I know this is odd.
I have met someone special.
I'd do pretty much anything for anyone. But that doesn't make me a good person.
I am a Christ follower. It is the most difficult thing I have ever done, but so incredibly worth it.
This year has been filled with many mistakes, learning, and grace so far. It has been so refreshing.
