The Entrepreneur Lifestyle
Waking up in the morning is a blessing because no day is promised to us. Every day that I wake up I feel great and I love that. Being an entrepreneur has given me a chance to find out what it is like to run my own little work world. From the moment I get up until the time that I go to bed, I am in control of my life! I start each day with a few personal moments but then I start my workday. There is always a movie on when I write my itinerary for the day. I tend to loosen up when I watch a movie first, so I do. It is then onto business: petty cash check, phone calls on projects, email returns, app usage and what projects to start or finish. I always try to remember to do the most important project first then, but that does not always happen. There are many times when I will choose the project not finished from the day before instead. Being in control of what I want and need to do is a thrill for me. It was not always like this as I have worked for others companies.

Dress Code?
As a public school student for the last 14 years, I would like to make a complaint. The most famous things we hear is about the dress code. We have meetings and assemblies and things are out on the announcements and we never hear the end of it.

Holiday Handprints
Where I work, we do not celebrate holidays—which makes sense, don't get me wrong—but I chose to do these handprints anyways. I broke the rules for "no holidays," but I also passed it off as a sensory activity. When you work with children, they don't care whether it's holiday paintings, squiggly paintings, names, etc. All they care about is the process, how much fun it is, getting to show it off, making a mess, and actually doing something!

Extreme Security in NYC Public Schools
New York City classrooms have under gone a massive remodeling as policing and extreme security measures await students daily. The scene in public schools for the past eighteen years has blatantly created an environment of hostility and a place that house criminals. According to Cecilia Reyes of ProPublica, “more than 100,000 middle and high school students [experience airport style security everyday].” School safety agents standby prepared to intervene with hand wands for further inspection if need be.

Work Flow
Everyday I get up at the same time. I drink the same sort of coffee. I get in the same car. And I drive the same route. It all leads up to the same place I work. Don't get me wrong. I love the people I work with. Well, most of the people. I try and make everyday seem better then the last. It's never enough. I find myself day dreaming of a time where I was contributing something more to society. A time where I woke up extra early, and skipped breakfast just so I could get to work and create something new to teach. Oh yeah I'm a teacher by the way. Well teacher adjacent. I sound like I'm bitching. And maybe that's exactly what I'm doing. But so what?! Who doesn't bitch? Out of the billions of people in this world, black, white, American, European, we all bitch about our jobs. Even if we love the job.

A Flight Risk?
If the answer to this question for you, is "yes, duh", please let me explain. A little background first. I'm a late-twenties woman who is still trying to figure life out (I know, no one is supposed to have all the answers). I went to college, graduated in 2013 with my Bachelor's in Law/Justice and held my fair share of crappy jobs like serving, cashier, retail, you name it after graduating. However, I still live at home, never had a full-salaried-401k-2-weeks-paid-vacation job. You're probably thinking that I'm a whiny, ungrateful, self-absorbed person for even thinking that I should have all of those things I mentioned. You want to know the truth? I haven't exactly earned all of those things just yet because I haven't been somewhere long enough to be able to earn all of those things. There's no shoe that's been the right fit, no porridge that has been exactly right, there's been no easy way into the field I chose to study all those years ago. And that's what is so incredibly daunting and humiliating for me. I paid how much to get this degree and still haven't been successful in finding a career? Why is it that I can't seem to feel happy about the choices I've made so far? All I've done is get stuck in this black hole that I can't seem to get out of.

How to Get a Literary Agent
Getting a literary agent is the first and most important stage of getting your book published but they're often not known about widely. Publishing houses rarely accept unsolicited manuscripts and more often than not prefer to get their submissions from a trusted agent.
