The First Post

"You should start a blog!"

I can't tell you how many times I've heard this during the past two years as I've begun my teaching career. I've always thought that I needed to gain a little more experience, teach for a little bit longer, or come up with more clever ideas before I started this blog. But I've realized that I need to take my own advice. I often tell my students that they have to start somewhere. If we sit and wait until we understand something completely or until we have everything "under control" before trying something new, we'll never get anywhere. So this is me following my own advice. I'm embarking on this blogging journey with a few hopes, a few expectations, and lot of questions. We'll see where it takes us! I'm excited to share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences as I navigate my way through this crazy profession. Thanks for caring enough to come along with me. Please let me know if you find anything that I share on here helpful, funny, encouraging, or confusing. I'd love to hear from you!
