Amos and I had a conversation before he left about my hobbies. I told him I needed to find new hobbies, fill my time with something that makes me happy. He very quickly said, "You don't need to find new hobbies, you need to dig deeper into the ones you have." Very curious, I asked Amos what he thought my hobbies were. His initial answer: Grey's Anatomy. Not funny, smart guy!
On a more serious note, he talked about my guitar, and always wanting to learn to speak Spanish. Then he said this:
"You are lucky enough, that your favorite hobby will someday become your career."
How true! How lucky I am to be doing something I love. And how I had almost forgotten that. I don't like lesson plans, I don't like test, I don't like paperwork. I do love children. I do love teaching.
Today, I opened my text books with new curiosity. I want to learn about teaching. Not for the A's or the 4.0... I want to learn about teaching because I love it.
And I ask you this, what good is a mind like doing twenty thousand leagues under the sea?!?!? :)

About Me
- Kenzie
- If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I think I am living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully the thing I want to live for. Between these two answers you can determine the identity of any person.
