Our Path(ways)
Like many teachers today, my heart was crushed by a system of mind-centered, data-driven, tech-stressful, competition-focused path of never enough-ness. We have lost ourselves and the real school spirit in all of this. Our hearts are broken. My heart was broken, and as a result, I got very sick and had to leave my beloved profession. I literally couldn’t stand being in my job any more and my legs would give out on me at any moment. The doctor tested me for MS and ALS and finally said, “if you don’t get out of that job, you will be in a wheelchair in five years!” It took three years of physical and mental therapies to get back on my feet, but my heart was still broken. I was lost, and I felt like my inner compass was broken. So, I decided to set out on a journey to find my way back home to the heart of my true self.
