2017 showed me how much can change in a year. Although the word change can have a negative connotation, I am very pleased with the changes that happened.
Big takeaways from 2017:
- Moved back to Ohio in August. I love being closer to family and college friends.
- Started a new teaching job. I continue my journey teaching all day Kindergarten at a brand new school. I loved seeing the new building come together. This school year has been nothing short of amazing and I am so happy where I'm at.
- Graduated with my masters degree in literacy from the University of Dayton. Go Flyers!
- Traveled to Los Angeles, North Myrtle Beach, Wrightsville Beach, Delray Beach, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Phoenix.
Moving forward, my #oneword2018 is present.
Present in 2018:
I completed my masters degree in a year and a half, which means 2017 was devoted to working hard in order to achieve that goal. Since I finished my masters degree in December, I now have much more free time, especially on nights and weekends. I want to spend more time with family and friends as well as make time to do things I love such as traveling. I also will hit pause more frequently to remind myself to live in the moment and not always feel on the go.
2017 was a positive year overall and I am excited to see what 2018 will bring!
