I am originally from the Midwest and have been temporarily (I hope) transplanted to the East Coast. My husband and I are out here while he is in seminary studying to be a pastor. We both grew up in loving Christian homes and graduated from the same Christian college where we met on the third day of our freshman year. I sort of chased him for about a year and then we finally started dating our sophomore year of college and got married the summer after we graduated. I am a born again believer hoping to continually grow in my relationship with Christ.
I majored in secondary English education. I was dead-set on teaching high school English in a public school as soon as I graduated. Well, God likes to keep me humble because I'm currently teaching 6th grade everything (math, science, history, English) in a small Christian school. I just finished up my certification for teaching English as second language since about 1/3 of my class doesn't speak English, and I'm in charge of our school's after school tutoring program which caters to ESL students.
So why do I blog? Well, I love to write. The only problem is, writing intimidates me. I tend to get too perfectionistic (hence the name of this blog) and then don't write at all. I've tried blogging before. I think this is technically my 4th blog I've started. I'm really hoping that I can keep it going this time. I really want to. I'm hoping to be honest with myself and my readers. I want to work through some of the issues I've been carrying around with me my whole life and think writing is the best way for me to do that.
