In my spare time, I enjoy writing and playing an online MMORPG. I'm a huge animal lover, having just scaled back to 11 pets in our house.]]> 2018-10-23 20:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kinesis311/a1qref47e6ai/wish/296188805 kinesis311 https://padlet.com/kinesis311/a1qref47e6ai/wish/296189915 I've worn many hats over the years, from going to school to become a physical therapist (but graduating with a degree in history) to working for Microsoft, to being a full time stay-at-home mom. I worked for insurance companies and for the medical examiner, too. Teaching has been at the back of my mind since I was little, but it took coming to a major crossroads in my life to take the steps to fulfill this dream.]]> 2018-10-23 20:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kinesis311/a1qref47e6ai/wish/296189915 kinesis311 https://padlet.com/kinesis311/a1qref47e6ai/wish/296190973 One thing I've learned in my several decades of adulthood is that very few things turn out as expected. At 21, I never expected to be a widow by 42 nor to not have any real career established. My goals for the future is to give students hope in life, in school, in their ability to succeed despite the adversities they might/will face. I eventually intend to extend my teaching into a program/platform to help teens at risk of self harm/self destructive behavior.]]> 2018-10-23 20:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kinesis311/a1qref47e6ai/wish/296190973
