This space will be used to illustrate my voyage into the teaching profession as I examine, engage, and reflect upon my learning experiences. I've been working long and hard to get to where I am right now and it has and will remain a voyage of ambiguity, curiosity, and excitement. Please feel free to join me on my voyage, I can only learn more from the varying voices and perspectives as I grapple with concepts, ideas, and theories on what I am learning and how they relate to my own beliefs, values, understandings, and experiences.

I Am From
Nick Knacks and Trinkets
I am from framed photos,
Wood panels, and antiques a plenty.
From early mornings
And late nights,
From the darkest of the dark,
And the brightest of the bright.
I am from snow caves and enchanted forest castles,
From the Jewel on the Lake,
once a Lion, a panther, and a Lynx.
I am from moose, bears, and mosquitoes, oh my!
From big green tents, puffy sleeping bags, Mr. Winni B, and fishing poles.
From green hip boots, beating fish hearts and slippery fishy eyeballs,
A berry sleuth and entrepreneur of mud pie a la carte,
And Graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows.
I am from bright yellow ten speeds, volleyballs, dog bones and leashes,
From fuzzy caterpillars to shrews in need of rescue.
I am from little brown and green shoulder sashes.
Truth or dare, slumber parties, scary stories, and flashlight tales.
I am from roller skates, Barbie dolls, blue Smurfs, and Strawberry Shortcake that blew yummy berry kisses.
I am from Dwiggins across the lake,
Games, laughs, and shhh…let’s hide and seek.
From the Eagle in the River that led to Rosa Lee and Allen.
And airplane Cody, who was such a hoot.
From pranks and play and lashes and squabbles,
Yelling out you’re an idiot, spelled I-d-o-t,
To please, come and play with me.
I am from piggy tails, bobbie socks, and glossy strawberry lips.
From wooden walls taped with girlish fantasy and reality
Adorned with rows of stuffed animals like Apple, the koala
And Cotton Candy the pink bunny.
I am from Brandy, doll dresses, lap warmer, wet kisses, and wagging tail.
I am from envelopes and boxes,
Tin cans and smelly candles,
Nick knacks and trinkets filled with pieces
From here and there-
Really, a little bit of everywhere…
That make up who I am
And where I am from.
I am From
