Currently, I'm in college (obviously) it's been very hard so far I feel like I'm not achieving what I want to achieve. I'm hoping this year I will really start to get back to my roots and exile like I have in the past. I'm focusing a lot on books that focus on teaching and the classroom so I can learn to be a better teacher!

Over the summer while I was applying for college, I decided to work as a preschool teacher, and it was the best decision of my life. It all really calcified that being a teacher is what I'm meant to be; where I can use my skills in creativity, performance art, and analytical thinking to give these children a fun and multiliterate learning environment. I started taking a lot of inspiration from the amazing Mr. Rogers, as he represented a lot of my beliefs and inspired a lot of my lessons and is still a big source of inspiration to me.

In High School, I started really appreciating English and Art. I had a lot of really good supportive teachers, and I started to dream about wanting to become a teacher. I loved deeply analyzing books and movies and thinking critically about what the author might have been thinking. I loved writing essays, annotating, and making presentations. Weirdly I started being seen as the "smart" kid and was overachieving in English. I started helping other students with their essays and I realized that teaching is my passion.

In Elementary School I had a lot of problems with reading. I was put in SPED and held back in 4th grade due to a lot of my learning problems. I was a very imaginative and weird kid, I really loved stories of characters that overcame adversity, as I imagined myself as those characters. It made me inspired to write and draw my own stories.

In middle school, I got a lot more into reading due to me being more into art and I started seeing writing as a way of expressing myself. I started drawing and making comics, but I also really got into musical theater and joined the drama club where I would write and perform plays. I started seeing reading not as a burden but as a way I can explore my creativity. Unfortunately, a lot of my SPED teachers were not supportive of me at all, it was only a handful of teachers who did.
