It's a Wild World

In two weeks I will be living in Philadelphia. In a month I will start training to teach. In September I will be teaching Special Ed - English. These things make me both excited and terrified: I am leaving everything I know. The other day I watched Dangerous Minds and cried. This sounds a lot worse than I actually feel because I do want to teach, it's just that I know how hard it is going to be. But I do know that and at least I have that.

I am much more upset about leaving people than I am the place and I think that's why preparing myself to go is becoming difficult.

That being said, I plan to write things about living and teaching in Philadelphia here. I'm also going to attempt to make myself write frequently so when I am old I can remember and so when I am gone you can still know me well.

But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
