I look ordinary on the outside. Worse than ordinary … I am average and letting myself look it. My hair is going grey, I’m on the tail end of the baby boomers, I wear the best clothes I can afford, my feet are size 7, and I am size M. On a bad fashion day, I look like a teacher.
I am a teacher, but looking like a teacher?!!!
As we journey, I may find myself becoming stunning and rich – and I will certainly let you know when either of those occurs. However, I will always be a teacher.
For 12 years I’ve most often be paid to be a public school teacher of high risk youth. Before that, and during it all, I have taught parenting classes, women’s advocacy groups, implemented government anti-violence initiatives, and generally given my opinion & advice wherever I find an audience. Sometimes, I’m a writer. I got a degree for it, and I’m going to use it by gawd!
I also got a degree for teaching – two of them. You may call me “Master”.
What’s deceiving about all this success and ordinariness is that I am kind of twisted in an adorably evil sort of way (so says my husband… and with lines like that, you can see how a girl would want to marry this guy!)
If a well-tangented bastardization of the English language is the way you like to travel, join me as I figure my twisted way from the spiritual superiority of poverty to riches beyond belief.
See ya.
