Listicling With Passion

1. Being a teacher…I have known since I was in the 5th grade that I wanted to be a teacher.  I feel and believe that I was made to do this job. There is nothing like watching a child learn.  

2. My children…I want my children to be the very best they can.  I want them have the skills to choose to be whatever they desire.  I want them to have the values to be an amazing human being.  I want them to dream the unimaginable and have it come true.  This is f****ing hard work this one!

3. Being a good person… This sounds simple, but it is truly important me.  It is important to me to be a person who is kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, perceptive and thoughtful toward others.

4.My husband… I love the man.  He makes me mad (the crazy mad, well the mad mad too), but bottom line is he is pretty amazing.  One of the most thoughtful men I know, kind, smart loving and a good dad.  The man seriously has a way of making me crazy… oops I said that already.

5. My relationship with my husband… I want my marriage to be a happy one.  A marriage that is full of give and take, good team work, love for each other, wonderful memories and great s… (I can’t type that word in front of all of you).

6. My friendship with Shirley… Being a good friend to Shirley means so much to me.  She makes me a better person.  I could go on but why cause my readers to become nauseous.

7. Sci-Fi… I may not look like it but I LOVE SCI-FI.  Books and movies, the stranger, more unique story the better.  Give me the impossible, the fantasy, the amazing imagination, the how could anyone come up with that and I’ll love it.  The downside… that means I also like a lot of what others would call terrible B movies.  

8. Special Education…I love, to my core, working with some of the most challenging students.  Tuning into each student, knowing their strengths and using those strengths to teach them is what drives me.  Seeing them be successful, exceeding expectations and being an independent person is what I strive for.  

9.My life…I love my life.  It hasn’t always been perfect, neither have I.  I also know it won’t always be perfect.  For now it is good and so I will soak it all in and enjoy it!

10. My sisters… my sisters mean everything to me.  Spending time with them makes me very happy.  They are annoying make my childhood memorable (not always in a good way) who have become spectacular woman.  I love them dearly!
