She is signed upon my skin, but lives within my mind and heart...
This is my first tattoo, inked on my 23-year-old skin at my local tattoo parlour in Warrnambool, Victoria, of Australia. I never cared much for tattoos growing up in my teenage years and I never planned tattoos for when I would turn eighteen. I always admired a good tattoo and the story behind it. The story coming from the person with the tattoo is what interests me the most. I definitely see that tattoos can be the initial source of expression for that story, an artistic symbol for the story that is hard to express otherwise.

Struggle, doubt, and post-graduate clarity: becoming the teacher you're destined to be.
Remember as you went through university, your lecturers spoke about teaching like they all knew you would have a future in teaching? They spoke about teaching philosophies like you could readily remember what yours was at any time. They expected you to grasp learning theories and apply them to practices or connect them to teaching and learning models. You were constantly expected to discuss and justify the best approaches in seminars and have debates to see multiple views of education.
