I Caved

Never in a million years did I think I would start a blog.  Don't get me wrong, I love blogs- other people's blogs.  I could read blogs all day, but I never saw myself with my own blog.  Well, for my instructional technology class we were required to create a blog and post our educational philosophy. (This explains my first post)  I thought it was a dumb assignment and decided that I would hurry and make a blog to post on.  I wasn't going to make it cute or anything.  Well one thing lead to another and two hours later I was still sitting on my couch perfecting the design and layout of my blog.  I got so into it that I almost didn't have time to take my quiz that was due that night.  I had so much fun making my blog how I liked it.  I got thinking about how I don't really write in my journal that often anymore.  I really should write in it because I know it is important, but because of circumstances in my life I just don't feel like it anymore. (I can never write without bawling for hours- yeah, I have a problem)  So I decided to try this blog thing out.  I don't know how often I will post.  My posts may be boring, sad, happy, funny, and express all other sorts of emotion.  They won't be perfect because I'm not perfect.  My life is chaotic, but I feel like I have things to share that will strengthen and help others, so I am going to share.  So if your ready to jump on the roller coaster that is my life, buckle up, keep your head back, and enjoy the ride.

 This is me on the Tea Cups at Disney Land when I was a sophomore. (Not really a roller coaster, but you get the idea)

Why be a teacher?

Why be a teacher you ask?  Most importantly because these sweet children need an unbiased advocate on their side at all times.  Little children don't get much say in their life.  They go where their parents take them and do what their parents tell them.  Sometimes they just need someone who cares enough to sit down and listen to them.  I want to be that person.  I want to be the person these children trust with everything.  I want these children to feel loved always.  These little children are the future, I want to be the person that helps shape them for that future.  Every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and to be loved.  Every child needs to be loved always.  I want to be that person.

So my question is, why not be a teacher?  Why not aide in creating a future we can be proud of?  Why not love these little children unconditionally?  Why not give them the chance someone gave me?
