I am a dreamer and I live my life as a choose-your-own- ending, adventure novel. Growing up, I used dream of being a dedicated wife. I could see myself completely enthralled in the duties of maintaining my mini-mansion and beautifully landscaped two acre plot. Around high school, I upgraded the dream to include an 'S' shaped pool, a purebred poodle, and a cute set of athletically successful children. Then something happened around college; the pervasive realities of poverty, illiteracy, and institutional phob'isms (my word for racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia etc...) infiltrated my sweet reverie and sent me on a new mission, a new dream. Save the world. Of course, I recognize that it may take some time, but the first stop on this journey: educating the young people. So, my journey begins as a teacher - where I will go from there, who knows. But for now, I am going to observe, learn, and then hopefully impart some of that wisdom.
WARNING:
This is a big decision and I haven't really put too much thought into it. It is bound to be a bumpy ride. Buckle up.
