I got a job!!!! 13 months ago

I will be teaching 6th grade math, and I cannot wait. Of course, math isn’t MY favorite subject (actually it is my least favorite), but hopefully I can make it fun for them and teach it in a way that doesn’t make them feel the way I feel about it now.
Yay! I get to work because I like, no LOVE to, ...not because I have to.
Check.

I graduated.
I thought I was going to pass out in the floor…but I didn’t…I just walked, shook some hands, made a b-line for my chair, and I’m guessing it will slowly sink in within the next few months…as I begin to teach…weird.

Untitled 14 months ago

I graduate next Saturday!!!—with honors, a 3.9, and the satisfaction of knowing that I did it on my own (with the help of God). :)

no parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents … have ever graduated from college…

I’m the first.
