Welcome to my blog.
I struggle quite a lot with work life balance. The Millennial in me daydreams about a career in writing on climbing, mountain biking, surfing, snowboarding, lifting, nutrition, and self help–all the things I stretch myself thin to dabble in. The Gen-Xer in me has kept me in the classroom since 2006 and makes sure the Millennial has employer provided health insurance and retirement plan.
I’ve been a high school, middle school, ESL, and English teacher trying to make it through the week since 2006. Don’t let my self-pity make you think that I’m a bad teacher though. I’m actually a really good teacher. Teaching is just really freaking hard, and so are all the above mentioned sports. With a healthy dose of self-help to keep me from losing my shit, I try to do it all: teach, climb, mountain bike, lift, surf, snowboard, and eat healthy.
So, that is what I write about.
