Teaching Stories

Most of my stories these days consist of my teaching experiences. Partly because the only other person I hang out with is my grandpa and the only other person I talk to is my boyfriend, but I'm ok with this!

Every morning I typically greet the same kids as they are coming off the school bus. This morning I was running later than usual and arrived to find a kindergartner peaking through my door window. As I got closer, he exclaimed, "there you are! I thought you were hiding from me!". He then proceeded to tell me how he finally remembers my name and all the cool stuff he has planned for this weekend. Once he left, I had a student stop by asking if I could help her learn a song on piano. She was so excited with her accomplishments that she asked if she could play the song for her class next week in music. :)

This week has been one crazy week with the kids (full moon, kid vomiting in class, spilling my coffee, etc.) and come this morning I was running on very low energy. Needless to say, this surely helped me get through today and reminded me why I love teaching. :)

Here is to a long, work filled weekend! At least the weather is suppose to be sunny and in the upper 80s! I love Florida!

End of 1st 9 Weeks

The end of the first nine weeks is near!

This school year has already been flying by and all of my students love me. I have so many pictures and nicknames. =]

And the best part is that I keep forgetting its my job. I truly have the most amazing job in the world! Life is wonderful.

My First Big Girl Job

I got a job! I got a job!

After months of searching, filling out applications, and interviewing I finally have a teaching job. And it's in Florida!!!!

Life is truly on the up and up for this girl. =]

Years Pass

4 years pass and I still miss you just as much.
It's never easy losing a family member and I hope I don't have to endure such a loss again for a really long time.

I love you, Grandma.

Happy Belated Birthday, Grandma!

I forgot to mention that yesterday was my Grandma's birthday... so Happy Birthday, Grandma! I love you and miss you! Hope it was an amazing one!

Let it Go

The song "Let it Go" from Frozen has really gotten me through a lot these days. I need to learn to let everything go. To welcome change with open arms and to keep moving forward. Yes, this transition is scary, but I know it will make me a stronger and better person. So from now on I will keep being kind and show that I am supportive of all the change that is going on around me. In other words it's time for me to act myself all the time. And this weekend really showed me that I'm back to being myself.

And I really like who I am. :)

My Escape?

I may finally have a job! =] I had a phone in interview with a school a few days ago and she absolutely loved me on this phone! Yay! Now I get to make the trip there and advocate the music program to the school. And to make it even better the assistant principal has a music degree.

I'll be moving to a new area all alone, but I feel like I need this experience.

I'm finally getting my escape. <3

Up, Down, Touch the Ground...

Life is full of choices. And every choice made determines if the roller coaster will creep on up or fly all the way down.

Right now I'm at the bottom.



It's time to fix that.
