2019.

2018 was an insane year for me. I can separate the year into 3 major parts.

January-May: spent my last semester of college student teaching in Chelsea and babysitting all over the city
June-August: spent my summer nannying in the upper west side
September-now: started my career as a teacher in East Harlem

Some of my favorite memories this year were

Honestly, I feel really good about 2019. I am most looking forward to

Traveling.... I hope to take at least 5 trips next year (at least two being out of the country)
Surviving my first year of teaching... I know these next 6 months are going to be difficult but I can’t wait to see how much I continue to learn and grow during that time
A somewhat laid back summer...I hope to spend my summer traveling, preparing for the new school year and just working part time babysitting
Beginning my second year of teaching...I imagine it will be rewarding to take all of the work and knowledge from my first year and use it to build a better second year
Crossing things off the bucket list... I created a bucket list a few years ago and have continued editing it since. I believe 2019 will be the start of real progress on my bucket list
