About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find out what life is like in the West!

ABOUT ME

Unlike my friends I am a little more daring, but I would say it is on a conservative level. Yeah that makes sense right?

I am willing to take chances, and I feel like doing this may be somewhat risky, but a few people I know have talked about this site.

I did attend one event last year in NYC that ended in Governor's Island. It was a scavenger hunt.

As I am on vacation I am constantly thinking about my future 6th graders. Trying to figure out new things of interest or better ways to explain things. I keep coming up with new ideas, but I need to write them down.

This road trip that I am currently taking out west should help me with experiences and with the historical places I plan to visit definitely help in my teaching.

I am a 10 year vegetarian. Converted to this after dissecting a cat and realizing it reminded me too much like chicken and I never was a fan of killing animals. I have no problems with meat eaters, I just don't for my own moral reasons.

I tend to be conservative with people and open up when I see their personalities. I am laid back and believe in respecting other peoples property. I always tell my students to take things, but put them back and I follow this adage.

PHILOSOPHY

Always treat others how you want to be respected. Do not take people for granted. Explore and add to your resume.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked around Rio by myself for 24 hours. Wasn't the smartest thing to do, so I did it 1 more time after :).

Teach, Learn, Share

I saw on the A-Team that if your belt ever breaks you can use panty hose as a temporary means. Pretty weird. Problem is I would never have this on me!
