Earlier this week, I was asked what my long term career goals are - I answered honestly - I have no clue. For the first time in a long time, I am generally happy in my profession. I think sometimes society gets so caught up in what comes next that we forget to enjoy the now.

@LWiseBIO @MiniOneSystem @JhsJags @brett_miksch @LazareScience Thank you for coming by and helping facilitate! The kids had so much fun and were excited to do science!

Ca$h cow fun yesterday and today in @TeachMsA Biology classes. Loading & running DNA to see which cows would produce the best cheese (& cheese making babie) for Farmer Joe. Thank you @MiniOneSystem for this awesome lab! @JhsJags @brett_miksch @LazareScience #BIABaby #JagScience

Biology @JhsJags teachers have Holiday Spirit in our DNA 🧬! @LWiseBIO @sciencyfletcher @KPClemons25 @mskiralowery @ReneeGo94868705

@hankgreen I got pretty awesome compliments on my sock club socks today from high schoolers. So there's that.

What kind of gifts would be cool teacher appreciation gifts if, let's say, an online education company wanted to make some??

Huge thank you to @LWiseBIO & @MiniOneSystem for invaluable PD. I had an absolute blast today refreshing micro-pipetting skills & using gel electrophoresis! These are the kind of labs that make @JhsJags the BEST!

@Vamos_DCU @MeredithGuthr17 Is this your husband? Haha

A guy in my flight apparently plays the bagpipes. He has a little electric bagpipe he plugs his headphones into and only he can hear. He has been silently (to everyone but himself) ripping his bagpipe for 5 straight hours. I have no choice but to respect this.

Excited to have been nominated for the @HoldsworthCentr Educator Retreat! Either someone thinks I am very special or very stressed out! Either way, I am grateful someone was thinking of me. ❤️

@carrie_coburn @LOCKHARTHS @SomoslosLions Awww. I love this!

Day two of community building a Scrabble board for the different graduating classes with my students names. They come up and help me make them an important part of our art piece. Not done but getting close. #GritandGanas #ExpeditionExceLLance @LOCKHARTHS @SomoslosLions

I learned the coolest thing today by walking by Coach Fambroughs class. (Luckily @LWiseBIO knew he used ppt) You can actually live audio subtitle your lessons in a different language using Office365 Powerpoint! @JhsJags are seriously the best!

@CoursonCA @Hays_Hawks Wish him the best from me!

One thing about me is that I volunteer to do things like pick up and maintain starters for Biology class cultures. My classroom always stinks but its a happy sacrifice to get students into science. @JhsJags Biology is locked and loaded for 23-24! #biababy

@CoursonCA So cute!

@CoursonCA Thank you! It’s easy when Aidan is such a good kid! 🥰

Huge thank you to Johnson PTA for breakfast this morning! This teacher sure feel’s appreciated. 🥰

@SouthpawEdu Greg Abbott be like:

🩴 🩴 🩴 ☀️ is out and it’s flip flop season.

This might look like a normal Biology class but it’s a full house at voluntary after school STAAR Tutoring! So proud of these Johnson students who are #BIA @LWiseBIO @JhsJags

@SouthpawEdu Hard to meet metrics if the metrics are always moving.

Could the politics of the Governor have anything to do with this? So sad what they are openly doing to public education. And for what? Wealthy donor’s contributions? Help me understand 😔 If they change to rules & make schools fail who wins?

The best part of my day has been when a lesson on evidence for evolution turns into an improptu field dig for local fossils. #biababy @JhsJags

My students were amazing today and someone sent me a gift from my amazon list! #BestYearEver

@rubicortezlopez You impress me! 🥰

it’s so hard to impress my parents that all my accomplishments feel like the bare minimum🥲
