To get a good idea of how I feel every morning when I wake up, listen to this:

As a student studying childhood education, you come to question your own values and approach to life in relation to how it will affect the children I will help mold into individuals and citizens of the world in the next many decades. Writing, which I do habitually, helps me reflect and prepare for the world of teaching. Music also puts me in a fruitful spirit that inspires me of the joy teaching can be.
I try to try new things, as I hope my students will like to do, for it is important in being an avid learner. Something I have tried recently is gardening, by taking up volunteering at Longwood Gardens. It is a phenomenal oasis of plants and trees, and if you haven't yet visited, check out this site and I'm sure you'll want to.

I also work part time at Starbucks which gives me the heavenly coffee I am addicted to, and the opportunity to collaborate with people. When I don't have my nose in a book or being a barista, I enjoy being outside doing anything from hiking, biking, camping, fishing, etc. If I am outside, I am a happy person.
My goal with this blog is to extend my research and knowledge on teaching creatively, effectively, and being a mindful mentor. Please react!
