My favorite part of the book has to be when Catherine was able to put Anne Marie in a regular schhol and she was doing well. I found it so interesting that it took so many different doctors approaches to find a […]
WOOOOO HOOOOOO the first thing i would do would be to scream at the top of my lungs!!!! If i hit the jackpot tomorrow i would make sure that my family was MORE than taken care of, pay off my parents mortgage, redo […]
Balancing work and family is always something that should be important to you. Currently i am working full time at a real estate office in Brooklyn and going to school at night, you can only image how busy i am! […]
Right now i feel that my one elusive goal is have a happy family grow old together on long island. This has always been a goal of mine, now that i have come closer to reaching a point of settling down with my […]
DIane, what great goals these are! As you might have seen in my post, I think that goals become elusive for people when they are to abstract. I really love how these goals are specific and measurable. For […]
Riding a carousel is fun, the first few loops around. As you spin and spin, reliving the same scenery as you whirl around a rotating center, the journey loses a little bit of its charm. The journey of Catherine […]
I think it is the spontaneity and unexpectedness in which one’s life changes that makes hitting the jackpot so appealing. We enter casinos, buy raffle chances, and play the lottery for the mere chance of getting […]
I am glad to take any suggestions on this one, wise classmates, since I am absolutely horrible at balancing work and family. Even as I write this, it is Saturday night and my boyfriend is sitting on the couch next […]
I have always wanted to spend a few weeks of my summer hopping around the islands in Greece. It looks so beautiful there. The water is so clear and the islands building are all white. I told myself that i would […]

Korea is definitely on my list as well. I have had many Korean friends in my life, and their passion for their culture is contagious. Many of my students are also Korean and I love watching their proud […]
This post was a great insight into your fascinating history and the impact that a great teacher can have on a young child. Although I didn’t mention it in my post, it was Mrs. Bice’s first day at St. […]
If you haven’t already discovered this through the progression of my blogs, I am a very black and white person. I wouldn’t set a goal if I believed it to be impossibly elusive. My motto is underpromise, and […]
Part of what makes travel so exhilarating for me is the sense of escape, albeit temporarily, from reality and the norms that dictate everyday life. For its unique culture so different than my own, I would love to […]
Mrs Barth…..not only did Mrs Barth change my life but I’m pretty sure i changed hers too 🙂 Mrs. Barth was my sixth grade homeroom teacher, along with 24 other students that year. Sixth grade was my first year […]
I think i would most love to write a book about my family! I say this for a few reasons; one it would be a comedy,romance,drama,horror,action thriller all rolled up into one! Another reason is the fact that it […]
As a new and developing educator, I think of the teachers I have had along my educational career on a daily basis. In particular, finding myself in a middle school, I can’t help but recall Mrs. Bice, my middle […]
