Education majors get a bad wrap when it comes to their future endeavors. Future teachers are always ridiculed because they will not have a lot of money, but we are not in it for the money.

  1. When people say, “you're going to be a teacher! They don't make a lot of money!”

Well duh! We aren't in this profession for the money. We are in it because we want to do it

2. When you are excited about back to school season!

The back to school sales are the best time of the year. Not to mention all the new prospective students you will one day teach that are starting school.

3. When you are excited to buy teacher clothes

Teacher clothes. The dress clothes you will wear for your internships and lab experiences! I hate clothes shopping but when it comes to teacher clothes I get excited!

4. When you love helping younger people.

Everyone who is younger could use some help in any area of their life.

5. When you tutor others in your area of interest

If you are like me and are interested in English, all of your friends ask for help in English. They all ask for you to edit their papers for them, and you do it with great pleasure.

6. When you are a child at heart!

I still love Disney Channel and anything that is related to being a child. I collect bouncy balls with one of my friends and will keep them on my future desk!

7. When you enjoy grading papers!

I have always enjoyed grading essays and tests. Throughout high school, my teachers would have me grade tests for them and I loved it!

8. When your high school can't get rid of you!

I have been back to my old high school more times then I can count since I graduated two years ago!

9. When you are friends with your old teachers on Facebook!

Most of my teachers from high school are my friends on Facebook, and I love seeing how they are and getting advice from them about the teaching profession!

10. Lesson plans are the bane of your existence!

Usually you start these your sophomore or junior year, but at my school we started lesson plans freshman year and I already despise them!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
