The Most Successful Summer EVER
That’s right, folks. This summer was the most successful summer that I have ever had! In July, I taught at a college prep program. I spent my days laughing and learning. I taught from 8am to 4:30pm everyday. It was AMAZING. I designed an entire unit on feminism!

My mother came to visit me in August for two weeks. It was so nice seeing her, and someday I hope she’ll be closer. I miss her presence in my life.

I really want to be this amazing teacher that inspires and facilitates discussions and deep thinking. I hope whatever co-operating teacher I’m teamed with fits my teaching style. I’m taking an ASL class this semester that is KICKING my HEINY! I’ve never felt so inadequate before! And, it’s a nice reminder to me what some of my students are going to feel when they enter my classroom.
