New Beginnings

After teaching for 7 years and 6 weeks, I have resigned. It was a bittersweet decision. I loved teaching....the ups, and the downs. I learned a lot about myself and grew in so many ways.

I have always had those kids in the back of my mind every year, and tried to find ways to reach them so they enjoyed coming to school, and would learn and progress along the way.

Teaching was a hard job, but it was very fulfilling. The hard times made it worth it when I got to see the lightbulb click on. Several months ago Kenyan and I went to Texas Roadhouse and the host that took us to our table was one of my first students. After we recognized each other he said, "You just made my night." Oh, that made mine!

After 7 years of putting my students first it is time to put my family and myself first. I accepted a job with WGU (Western Governor's University) as a mentor in their education department. I will get to work at home and raise my baby. I'm so excited for the opportunity that I have been given to be home with her.

So as I say good bye to one chapter in my life, I am so excited to start a new one. I wish the best to all of my students, past and present, but I know they're in good hands because I left some of the most amazing teachers I have known. Thank you to all of you for your love and support!
