I am a special education teacher.  There – I said it.

Never really wanted to be one.  It just sort of happened.

I’ve been hoping to see what my life would look like when I grew up, and I’m still a teacher.  I don’t think I’ve grown up yet, and after 25 years of being an educator it doesn’t look like it’s going to occur.

I was inspired to begin blogging by what I see around me everyday – the many incredible students, fellow teachers, coaches, parents, and even administrators I work with.  Everyone has a story, and teachers need to find the humanity and humor in the people and situations we encounter as we go about our business.

Have heart teachers.  Or better yet, have A heart.
