I am a first year teacher. I am a recent college grad. I am a Teach For America 2014 Greater Nashville Corps Member. I am a sixth grade teacher. I am a math teacher. I am a graduate student at Lipscomb University. I am a northerner by birth and a southerner by choice. I am a sinner. I am a Christian. I am a redhead. I am a member of the LGBTQ community. I am many things. Being many different things, I have a lot on my mind. I have a lot of perspectives. With so many perspectives and being a first year teacher. I have decided to blog. I have decided to record my life. It will sometimes be for me to just let it go. It will sometimes be for me to brag about my students. It will sometimes be for me to talk about the happenings in my classroom. It will sometimes be for me to share with you. It will sometimes be private.
As a first year teacher I have realized that reading and writing are not what they used to be. I am not that much older than my students don't get me wrong. However, I did not used to complain when I was asked to write a paragraph in the sixth grade. It was just the expectation. With the realization that writing and reading do not come easy to my students, it has made me appreciate the fact that I am able to write and read as often as I want, yet for some reason I do not do either. So I am going to blog about my life as it is.
There is no real purpose for this blog. Mostly it will focus on my life as a teacher. However, as we all know, being a teacher is my entire life, so who knows what will show up on this blog. It is just high time that I start recording my thoughts.
If anyone does decide to read this. Please keep in mind that I am writing from but one perspective and there are so many out there that I am not seeing life through. Please bear with me.
