Gratitude
My mind is filled with anticipation of all that is hopefully to come....but I cannot begin without honoring and reflecting on gratitude and recognizing all the factors that brought me to this interesting bypass on my life's journey.
I begin a 4 month sabbatical today after teaching 34 years at Holy Guardian Angels School, Central Catholic High School, and for the last 6 years, Berks Catholic High School. I take this break to catch my breath and explore new sights and people and bring these back to my students at Berks Catholic.
Before this I must thank those who made this possible and who never questioned me. I thank the Diocese of Allentown for its support, as well as Tony Balistrere, Principal of Berks Catholic and Alice Einolf, Assistant Principal of Studies. I will try to "Do small things with great love"as your journal gift suggests.
Thank-you Nicole Smith, Director of Admissions at BC, for the heart-felt gift of the travel bracelet with St. Christopher there to guide me in my travels. Look for it as I explore!
Thank-you, Julie Gulling, French teacher at BC, my biggest faculty cheerleader, who painted a reminder for me to "Embrace the Journey." And finally thank-you to Lauren Urban for the gift of holding my pictures to preserve for my future students. Life is a journey, and I'm taking the time to honor that.
Notes of support from other faculty and students also are inspirational. Mr. Olivard, I pass the baton to you, and I look forward to our classroom collaboration.
The ones who have truly encouraged me are those who are the most important in my life: my mom (who will help me keep tabs on BC happenings); my husband, who as the CFO in our house has assured me this is a wonderful opportunity; my children Alex, who already has Poe-related sights lined up for us in New York, and Emily, who when I was feeling doubtful about this process, encouraged me with her enthusiasm and pride in what I am about to undertake. I love you all!
BC Students: this ultimately is about YOU! I have enjoyed meeting you this first semester, and I hope I will continue to be a part of your freshman year experience.
SO....here we go!
Upcoming this week: a trip to the Shakespeare Library in Washington DC and an exhibit on "The Enigmatic Edgar Allan Poe" in Baltimore.
Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It's hard to know how to get started. Trading on the Cryptocurrency market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto at some point not until saw a recommendation on Elon musk successfully success story and I got a proficient trader/broker Mr Bernie Doran , he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I'm not here to converse much but to share my testimony, I recovered my losses and I have made a total profit returns of $20,500 from an investment of just $2000 within 1 week.
