Currently at NSTA in Los Angeles. It has been a whirlwind being here. I've gone through many emotions of wanting to find a job outside teaching to now being drawn back by cool products and projects to do in the classroom. I'm unsure what my next job or career will be but I'm excited about this moment. Being in sunny California is rejuvinating and seeing my friend, Ale, that I met @honeywelleducators Space Camp has been amazing. We're brought together by a love for science and education and I can't deny a feeling I get talking about my students. But I'm not sure where it will lead me. It was inspirational to hear @billnye and Andy Weir speaking about their journeys and I am anxious to know where I'll end up next. There are growing pains during this 30 journey but at least I can get a California tan in the process. . . . . . . This is a series of posts journaling my journey leading up to and during my 30th year. I will be working to complete 30 things during the next year and a half that comprise personal, touristy, professional, and FUN #goals. Here is the list so far... 1.
