Once upon a time…

I used to be really good at striking up conversations in places like this or in chat rooms. Now I feel awkward and lost. 😂

I think years of teaching 8 th graders has taken my soul.

@SolGryn I teach Math. 😊

@Dewkissedrose that's amazing! I never excelled at math. I'm more of the book wormy type. I'm two semesters away from my English education degree.

@SolGryn And I’m not a bookworm. It takes all types. It would be boring if we were all the same. What made you pursue education?

@Dewkissedrose it all started with a teacher I had when i was younger. He kept pushing me Nd never gave up on me when everyone else did. He had shown me that i had untapped potential. I want to be like him and show the future generations that they can accomplish anything. Words are powerful things. I've learned this through reading copious amounts of literature. I was to teach English as a medium to channel the potential of the students

@SolGryn That’s awesome. I think making a difference in even one student makes it worth it.

@Dewkissedrose that's what it's all about. One stone can make the greatest of ripples
