It's been a couple months since I finished my last extended term sub posting and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised as to a) how much I enjoyed being in the elementary school and b) how much I learned. Indeed the experience was very much humbling and I saw my work there as … Continue reading Week 12, Day 60: Elementary? + Next Steps

Week 1 Day 1: Imposter Syndrome
Today was my first real day as the Library Media Specialist at an elementary school. Two weeks ago, I started a bit early because the librarian I was to be covering for went into labor early. Then we went on break and today was my first day. Today was also the first time I ever … Continue reading Week 1 Day 1: Imposter Syndrome
Haven’t written in a while!
I know, I neglected this blog since leaving Culver, and I haven't shared about the amazing things that have happened since. From attending Tufts University and finding the most amazing school to work at, to finding a church and a fellowship community that has changed my life. I hope to write more, I hope to … Continue reading Haven’t written in a while!
Cooking Adventures! (1) Butter & Soy Sauce
There are two types of people in this world. Those who eat to live and those who live to eat. I live to eat (which is pretty evident based on my physical appearance and other attributes), and since I started going to college, I've also dabbled in cooking. Some context: my parents both love to … Continue reading Cooking Adventures! (1) Butter & Soy Sauce
Week 5-7: It’s been a while…
Wow, I feel bad for not updating this blog for a long time. I guess, on the one hand it's good that I'm busy in both school and my classes (school meaning student teaching versus classes meaning Tufts). On the other, I did hope to write more and be consistent with my writing. Every week … Continue reading Week 5-7: It’s been a while…
Hidden Curriculum (1): Things I’ve Learned/Experienced So Far

Some are from my classes and the readings that I've been engaging in, but also just the experiences I've had in the classroom. I want to … Continue reading Hidden Curriculum (1): Things I’ve Learned/Experienced So Far

Week of 9/3 (First Days of Schools)
I don't know if this is going to be a series, like a weekly thing from my last teaching position, or just something that I write when I have the chance. I do know that if my first week was any indication of how it will be for the future, then I'm always going to … Continue reading Week of 9/3 (First Days of Schools)
T-Minus Day 1
Today officially marks my eighth day in Boston. This post is not so much of introspective deep contemplation but rather just rambling and a collection of thoughts. I don't know why but I feel it's appropriate in some form to express some thoughts as I actually begin classes and even begin going to my school … Continue reading T-Minus Day 1
Danube Discoveries: Day 6 (Along Lower Austria)
Our boat left Vienna (finally) at around midnight and we began our cruise to Durnstein, Lower Austria. Durnstein is located in the Wachau River Valley and is known for being one of Austria's most successful wine regions. It's a really beautiful part of the country and I wish we spent more time exploring it. Our … Continue reading Danube Discoveries: Day 6 (Along Lower Austria)
