Remembering

For those of you that do not know the people in the picture that is my grandma and grandpa. They are the reason I am out here in Arizona. See I came to visit them when I was a junior in college and then found out about Beaver Dam Elementary School. I then contacted Mr. Frei the following September, when I was getting ready to student teach. Mr. Frei then invited me out for an interview and here I am. I am still here teaching and was just offered another contract for next year. I am really excited about it all.

However, that is not what this post is about. This post is about my grandma. Lately I have been really emotional with things and really needed a female around to help me. Well I don't have a female around because my grandma died over a year and a half ago. I moved out here in July of 2007 and she past away in October of 2007. It was a sad sad day for me, but I do believe that God sent me out here for a reason. I really think he wanted me here to spend time with my grandparents and be here for my grandpa when she past away. I just want to be able to remember her and that is why I did this post. She was a great lady and helped me loads when I moved out here and took care of me a lot when I was young. Almost every summer I use to spend it with her and my grandpa. She has also given me my father. The great man that he is.

So this is just for remembering her and how much I love her and will always love her. I miss you grandma and I know you are watching over me and helping me out as much as you can. Thank you for everything you have done for me in my life and thanks for my dad.

Who is Sarah?

Being in a relationship was great. I enjoyed every moment of it and I felt like I finally had a place in life. I know I have always had a place in life and I knew it was to be a teacher and to have a family one day and many other things. However, as my relationship got more involved and things seemed to progress, I began to lose parts of Sarah and who she really is and what I want to be. Well now that I am single I have tried to find that girl again. I have been looking really hard for her and I think I have finally found that happy girl, the girl who wants to help people, wants to travel, wants to be a really good teacher, and just wants to be lazy at times too.

I have found that I love the person I am. At first I was mad and felt like a failure, but now I am on a high. I love myself and the person I am. I may not have everything that all my friends have or what I wish I could have, but being single is great and it allows me to be me.

So who is Sarah? Well Sarah is a girl that grew up in a small town, wanting to get out and see the world. She is a girl who has made some mistakes in her life, but is learning from every single one. She is a girl, well I guess we could say woman, who is trying her darnest at being the best D*** teacher she can be. She is trying to do everything in her power to do her best with every one of her 25 students. Sarah is futhering her education and allowing herself to try her hardest and do something different with her life each day. Sarah is also a girl who is single, but wants to have someone in her life as long as they make her happy and allow her to keep her dreams alive. She is also a girl who is going to California tomorrow and can not wait to go. Sarah, is a girl who loves her family, friends, and all of her little 25 students in her room.

Well now that you all know who Sarah is, try and go find her. Cause I know she is bored out of her mind right now.
