Where I am today. 3/21/24


10 years ago I was in a treatment Center Convicted of two felonies dreaming that someday I might Just be sober enough to see my kid grow up.
Much less the dream I would have by the time I got out of there of being able to be an educator of some sort Someday? Today I'm at my school 3 semesters in at 8 o'clock at night. Not because I'm done something wrong. Not because I'm doing something wrong like I would have been 20 years ago in high school instead. I'm here at a board meeting because I've been elected by my student body to represent them. I could have never imagined along the path of trying to become an educator. That I would find Myself here today. My plan was to be a teacher that I can help. People understand why there was an x in the middle of that math problem. But my God, he does powerful things with your plans when you give them to him.
Now I'm sitting next to the people who are telling the educators how they're gonna educate in this building Casting a vote on behalf of the students.
