15. Let’s summarize:
I am a 24 year old graduate student and second year
teacher. I picked up and moved to another state with
just her clothes for a job. It was the bravest thing I’ve
ever done and one of the happiest decisions I’ve ever
made. I love my school and I love my students! It has
been such a whirlwind year that I never had time to
suck it in. Everyone said it would hit me on Day 1, but
even after a year still feel like I was made to teach!

16. What’s
next????
I have no idea. One thing is for sure, I will obtain
one more Master’s in Administration to hopefully be a
Principal. I will continue to work hard, and I will
continue to make my self and my family proud!!!
