Good Morning, Math is Fun!

This is how my tenth grade geometry teacher answered the phone- every day. It was kind of cute and annoying at the same time. I used to hate math. I think I hated it because it was the hardest subject to do well in without actually doing any work. Once I figured that out, I actually decided that I like math. I enjoy the structure of it all. So here's a look at an article that I wrote...about Math.

Enjoy

Good Morning Kiss

I'm sitting at Caribou coffee right now. Its where I work part time and where I am finding time to spend writing my articles. In april 2010 I started writing articles for an online magazine called Bright Hub. It was a great way to use my degree in English and pursue a part time career in what I've always wanted to do- writing. I've recently started to invest more time in my article writing due to a pay cut at my current job (I work at a juvenile psychiatric day treatment facility) and a decision that I have made to move to Wilmington. (with no current job prospects)

I have written various articles in the education and mental health channel and I have recently been found my niche in writing counseling and psychology articles in the education channel. Being provisionally licensed to teach highschool english and currently working as a mental health professional, this is where I feel like I belong.

I'm creating this blog to promote my articles, but also to gain feedback from followers. In order to ensure that my articles to be enjoyable and informative, I want to hear what readers thinks. I need outside perspectives. I welcome constructive criticism and ideas to improve my writing.

Thank you for taking the time to read.
