He’s now in his early 30s and I am no longer in my 20s. He now makes way more money than I do and for some reason thinks he’s smarter. Thankfully, time has been kind to us both. As we watch our children come into their own, we often wonder where the time went. SeasonsContinue reading “Then and Now”

Where I sit
This morning as I walked towards my classroom a student stopped me with an expression of pure joy. He had passed a test that was very important to him. I celebrated the moment with him and encouraged him to keep pursuing his goals. As I entered my room, I glanced at my chair. Immediately, IContinue reading “Where I sit”
Funny Feelings
I don’t always feel productive. Feelings are funny, unreliable things. They can’t be trusted. Productivity for me can best be measured by the outcomes. However, I get what is being asked. I teach in Adult Education, and I find it just as fulfilling as teaching K-12. Some days when my students have that ah-ah momentContinue reading “Funny Feelings”

This month, October, we celebrated the national heroes in our island nation. The place where I took my first breath. Where my values and strength of character began to take formation.

Recently one of my students came by my desk to share his current situation. His wife is hospitalized with a very serious condition, and he has a daughter on the autism spectrum who started having seizures. I could sense the weight on his shoulders and the pain in his heart. I asked him if thisContinue reading “My Why”
