About Project 365

I have decided to get back into my photography. I have boycotted my hobby for awhile because I miss the meditating atmosphere of a dark room. (Maybe I just miss the fumes!?!?) When I went to school I can remember spending very long evenings in the dark room and having a sense of accomplishment and creativity! Since I have made the switch to digital photography, I rarely edit the photos I take. With this project I will have different types of photos. All photos will be taken with my iPhone and will not be edited. Some will be normal everyday pics and some artistic in nature, but all will be a little part of my day. Everyday for a year! Here's to going out and finding the creativity again...

Although my job status for next year is still in limbo, I have been receiving tremendous support from the amazing people at my school!

Slowly but surely students are finding out from either teachers or parents that I may not be back next year.

I want the kids to know I am going to try my very hardest to be at school next year. I've been telling them that if I'm not back it's not because I don't care about the kids at Washington, it's because other kids need my help too. Breaks my heart to say it...

I want to be in the city. It's where I belong. It's part of who I am. It's part of my childhood. When my grandfather was principal and acting superintendent, he would dress up as Santa and I would go into schools with him and greet the kids. When my father coached McCaskey wrestling, I grew up running the halls of the high school. I student taught and did all my field experiences in the city schools. I even started my teaching career at King Elementary. I left King because of staffing concerns and went to another district, always with the intention on coming back to the city one day. The opportunity arose to come back 6 years later as Dean at Washington and I took it! Who knew my happiness of being "home" would be short lived in only 2 years...

Today I received a card that I will cherish always no matter what my fate is...
