Examples and Supports
Teaching was, for me, a very accidental career field. As I reached my teenage years, I started considering where I would go to college and what I would study. At the time, I lived in Oklahoma about thirty minutes from Norman, where The University of Oklahoma is located. I was already determined to be a writer, so I decided that I'd study journalism to support myself as I worked on finishing and publishing a novel until that could be my full-time job. OU is a strong journalism school, so I thought that I had a solid plan in place.

Working Out For Real
A couple of years ago I embarked on a health journey. Specifically "health" and not "fitness." I'm trying to be healthier overall and to avoid getting caught up in macros and weight and things like that - which I know that I'm prone to do.
