As I reflect on yesterday, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment after finalizing a detailed and strategic slideshow presentation for my upcoming accounting class. It serves as a solid action plan for the school year ahead—designed to guide and support my students as they explore the world of accounting. I truly believe that if they’re willing to learn, this structure will help them succeed.
Recently, I completed my Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science. With this milestone behind me, I can now fully devote my energy to teaching and doing my job with purpose and precision. This school year will be a challenge, as I’m blending high school-level content with college-level material. But I’m committed to giving my students the best possible educational experience. By May 2026, my goal is to see real, measurable success among them.
To do this, I know I need to be fully immersed in their learning experience—participating alongside them whenever possible. Growth as a teacher means continually stepping outside of my comfort zone. I also hope that one day, this path will lead me toward an administrative role. Every challenge I face is an opportunity to prove that I can overcome perceived weaknesses and rise to new heights.
It’s also been encouraging to earn the trust of my peers—whether it’s helping make strategic decisions, like player placements on the offensive line, or being asked to teach a course I haven’t touched in over 15 years. That level of trust fuels my confidence and strengthens my resolve to keep pushing forward.
Today brings new adventures, new lessons, and new opportunities. The journey continues—and I’m ready.
