When you grow up
What do you want to be when you grow up? Some know this about me; some don’t. I always wanted to be a teacher. I used to skip recess and help the teachers. Even worked during the summers helping all of my mom’s teacher friends. It was amazing. Sorting books, cleaning desks, etc. I loved […]
