It has been a few years since I last was part of an avatar community. I have been missing these kinds of communities lately, so I decided to find a place I could try to settle into. ^^

I have been a user on so many sites in the past that I can hardly keep track. I can't remember the names of most of them. (Mostly because it was so long ago!) Anyway, a little about me: I am in grad school for secondary education in order to become a high school English teacher. I enjoy drawing and keeping house plants. I'm also interested in learning to paint with watercolor. I recently bought a set of pans to practice with but haven't yet found the time. (I fr need a Time Turner.)

Um, what else.

Things I'm looking forward to: winter break HOLY SHITE. If anyone is out there, PLEASE HELP ME SURVIVE UNTIL THEN.

@totalanimefan: I think I chose right, as well. It feels pretty comfy here. ^^ Also, it's good to know this site runs well on mobile as I am away from a computer for most of the day. Thanks for letting me know! :D

@okios: Thank you, okios! (And thank you so much for the trade!) Yeah, there is a lot of serious and dangerous stuff happening lately. We all do what we can to help things improve. Gotta keep on going! <3

@rallaa: Hi, Rallaa! Thank you for asking! When I was younger I felt my teachers didn't make an effort to reach out to me and others like me. I didn't actually enjoy school until I got to university. When I realized what I was missing in high school, it really hit me. It is unfair how many people miss having an opportunity to be part of something. Like, learning aside--being part of something is more important. Now that I am older and am almost done with my teacher training I understand why so many teachers just *can't* be "better teachers." There are a lot of obstacles for them so many feel unmotivated and broken. I hope I can do better though. If I ever become a "bad teacher," I hope I have the courage to quit and move to another profession. (It's hard, but not impossible!) But yeah. All of what I said is not all of my reasons but still a big part of why I chose to go into teaching. ^^

@stostina: I see!
Well, I hope you can become the kind of teacher that can help their students in a way that your own teachers couldn't.

@Fozzy: Thank you! Happy to be here!

@vengeance: Wow, holy cow @_@

@rallaa: Thanks for the encouragement! I used to work as a tutor in my university writing center. Definitely not the same but it is similar. I 100 percent loved my job there. It really helped me find my path. So as long as I have the endurance, things should go well for me as a teacher. I hope. lol anyway, thanks again !

@saeyra: Aw, thank you Saeyra! I appreciate your well-wishes. That makes me feel really good!

Everyone's kind words kinda makes me feel like I can tackle some more homework now LOL.

@stostina: Welcome!

I'm glad to hear you are becoming a teacher. So many of them are overworked and underappreciated. I hope your studies go well, and look forward to seeing you around the forums! Hopefully you can hang around for the event soon!

@kozi: Thank you! Yes, being underappreciated is going to be tough. I've already been spoken down to by so many people. I don't know why others feel it is okay to insult teachers so openly. It's sad but I can tolerate it! :)

And yeah, the event! I'll be working hard IRL but I do plan to be here off and on, especially for the event! :D

@Mousy: Whoa! *Teacher High Five!* I didn't expect to see another teacher here! How long have you been teaching?

@stostina: This is my 5th year. I've made it to the year that they say most people quit by. I've accomplished something
I hardly ever see teachers on avatar sites. This is great.
