This is a voice reading fom a book called "The Story of My Life".

It provided writing prompts for some to write about their memories and thoughts and hopes.

It gives folks an opportunity to write down memories for others to read and learn about the life lived.

All prompts I have chosen are talked about with complete detail and above all else, 100% truth.

First episode is dedicated to my students that are graduating from HS in 2025!

I discuss motivations to teach and the methods to connect with my students, as well as fun memories that I have with them.

There is no better feeling than knowing that you have earned the trust of a student and know that they believe you are in their corner. The connection means you get the best out of both sides and then you both win!

From truths to laughter, these students mean the world to me and I cannot think of a better subject to talk about than the group of young adults that are going to do amazing things soon!!!

This week is all about the factors in the beginning stages of planning your wedding to consider and how they all bleed into another. Stress can turn your planning of your happiest day into an utter nightmare, but trust me when I tell you that you can turn this thing around!!
