All of this has brought me great joy, but with that comes a lot commitment, time and patience.

I am now looking for a change but still in the teaching field.  I am excited about learning how a librarians role impacts a child's learning and having the opportunity to collaborate with teachers to come up with meaningful and purposeful lessons.]]> 2020-05-29 03:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/llozano18/Introduction/wish/600406009 llozano18 https://padlet.com/llozano18/Introduction/wish/600413824 I am a big fan of books. I am especially fond of non-fiction books. I am currently reading El Sicario, which is an auto biography, and all I can say is WOW! The book that was most interesting to me was Brain on Fire. It talked about so many things that I can relate to my mom. ]]> 2020-05-29 03:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/llozano18/Introduction/wish/600413824 llozano18 https://padlet.com/llozano18/Introduction/wish/600417298 My family will tell you that they do not like sitting with me to watch a movie because I will pick the same ones.  The movie Miracle is based on a true story of the 1980 Olympic Hockey team.  I even included this movie as part of a lesson at one time.  The movie I watch and do not get tired of watching is Stand and Deliver.  Again, based on a true story of a math teacher, Jaime Escalante, in Los Angeles.]]> 2020-05-29 03:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/llozano18/Introduction/wish/600417298 llozano18 https://padlet.com/llozano18/Introduction/wish/601727753 Since I was raised in a small town, I have been blessed with a group of friends that have been there for me in my highest and lowest points of my life. Past summer my mom was admitted to MD Anderson for 2 1/2 months. Within those months these ladies made the 6 hour drive to visit me and my mom and bring me a bit of joy. They are my best friends and my second family. ]]> 2020-05-29 18:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/llozano18/Introduction/wish/601727753
