About the Arthur by Artie Henderson https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2 The life of a fire giant lost in Midgard... en-us 2018-01-13 14:49:16 UTC 2025-06-17 16:23:38 UTC hello@padlet.com I was born in Niflheim (Utica, NY), in the dead of winter! This is a land where the ice and snow consumes everything within its borders. artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221272177 2018-01-14 16:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221272177 Soon afterwards, we realized that we were not frost giants; so we moved to Muspelheim (Ft. Pierce, FL). It was here that I discovered my love of 100 degree weather and thunderstorms! Nothing beats a hot summer night sitting on the porch and watching the lightning streak through the sky. artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221273496 2018-01-14 16:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221273496 Five years later, my family and I moved to Midgard (Gloucester, VA), where I've stayed for the past twenty winters. Each summer I would return to the fires of Florida to recharge my lifeblood; so as to survive yet another dreadful winter. artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221274096 2018-01-14 16:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221274096 Here in Midgard, I found a church where I started my endeavors in teaching children. I started as a teachers assistant in the AWANA program when I was in the 9th grade; and volunteered there for five years, until I completed my first year of college. Then I moved over to the youth group and became a youth leader; where I taught middle and high school students up to now. I spent every weekend and most of my week working with these kids and their families. They are the ones who inspired me to be the teacher that I want to be today. artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221276970 2018-01-14 17:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221276970 My Philosophy artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221740435 I embrace Existentialism and Essentialism

These are preschool children and their group was called the Cubbies! Young minds the the best for learning because they absorb everything like a sponge.]]> 2018-01-16 15:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221744748 A fun night with the youth group! artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221891162 2018-01-16 21:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221891162 SCROLL RIGHT --> artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221900471 2018-01-16 21:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221900471 Later on artieh https://padlet.com/artieh/xq56epga0ws2/wish/221901520 My teaching career then moved over to the youth group; where I've been guiding hearts and minds at the middle and high school level.
