Hello World!

How’s it going?

As a person with a background in writing, I know the importance of a good introduction (though I really can’t promise anything here). So, before I delve into the complex intricacies of life and everything it entails, I’d like to introduce myself.

This is me. ---------->

I admit, not the best picture I could have found, but it will do for today’s purposes. I am 23 years old and a Graduate Student, working to complete my Masters in Education. Upon the receipt of my certification, I hope to be teaching Language Arts in a high school in September. I live in the suburbs in Connecticut, but I love to travel and to experience new things. 

My interests include books, music, yoga, and outdoorsy activities. I am very adventurous (especially lately), and I especially love hiking and am trying to get over my fear of heights by doing lots of it. I also love doing interior design and baking as hobbies. 

One of my true passions is for writing, though I do not consider myself a novelist by any means. It’s one of those things that calms me and helps me make sense of my own life. Even as an introvert, the idea of spending endless hours of every day writing “the next American classic” as my mom sometimes puts it, wasn’t enough. I turned to teaching because I wanted to inspire students to LOVE things, to have PASSION, even if it is not for my specific content area. 

Lately, as more and more of my friends have delved into the political arena (and kept me privy to such information), I have been more curious about what is going on in the world, rather than being wrapped up in my own problems. Let me tell you, it is truly humbling to do so. When you realize some of the big issues that other people face every day, you learn to put things into perspective. 

Anyways, this blog is really meant as a means to make sense of not only my own issues (which I am sure I will discuss plentifully), but also thoughts on the various aspects of life: the ups, the downs, and everything in between. I will try to keep as much variety in my posting as possible. I’m a pretty eclectic person, so it shouldn’t be too difficult (theoretically) Either way, I hope you enjoy my blog!
