I went to dinner with a friend at a little place in downtown Mesa. We were sitting outside enjoying the nice October evening and eating our gelato (mine was dark chocolate of course), when a mouse ran around a pillar into the garden box near our table. My first instinct was to put something between me and that mouse, so I moved behind the table (like that would really help!) Coming to the realization that the table would not do any good, I decided to sit back in my chair and pull my feet up off the ground. (I realize that wouldn't help either, but it made me feel better and not look quite so conspicuous!) As I stood up from behind the table, I saw the head of a very large furry animal peering at me from behind another pillar. I jumped and let out a girlish gasp, only to find it was just a woman and her dog out for an evening walk! Sometimes, you can't take me anywhere!
Where I've Been...
Arizona...at least for the last sixteen years! I graduated with my associates degree from Mesa Community College in 2003. I moved out on my own and began working as a home and community based service provider for children with disabilities (basically I was/am a nanny for some of the cutest kids on the planet!) Most recently (May 2008) I graduated from Northern Arizona University with my B.S. in Elementary Education. (Go Lumberjacks!)
Where I am now...
Still in Mesa, AZ. I can honestly say that I have found my passion! I love teaching whether it is life skills or academics there is so much we can all learn! I am still working with children with disabilities and cherish the lessons they teach me everyday. I am the self proclaimed FAVORITE Aunt Tiffy to three adorable nephews...just ask them!
Where I am going...
5th Grade at Zaharis Elementary!! I start my new teacher training on July 29 and school starts August 11! We will see where life takes me! It will be a fabulous ride for sure!
