| Introduction | I have always been the sort of person who looked at things or situations in a different light. Some would say I always had my head in the clouds; as if I was always in my own world. After 35 years, I haven't changed. I am an educator who can keep the balance of professionalism in school, yet maintain a sense of child-like wonder when teaching. In this fashion, I never stop learning. Children and teenagers teach me something each day. What once seemed a nuisance during my formative years, being "in my own world" is a rather astonishing gift. Thank you for popping in to peruse through my blog! May you always be true to yourselves. |
