What made you stop following your dreams?

I don't mind at all!

I'm currently enrolled in a Master's program to work on adding different cultural perspectives and understanding to the social studies curriculum in my province. I'm really passionate about having students understand, and think about why, people view the same events differently through class, culture, geographic, religion, and national lenses.

I'm also passionate about stories and traveling. I am taking myself to Antarctica for my 40th birthday and grad school graduation. I've learned that life is too short to wait for people, so I'm living my own life.

My dream is a happy life. My dream is to make my students better citizens, and to make myself a better global citizen too. And to see everything I want. I want to walk on glaciers kilometers thick. I want to kayak with whales. I want to see a blue whale. I want to read everything. I want to paddleboard the length of my local lake. I want to take the train across Canada and see polar bears. I want to try to kidnap a penguin and sneak him home with me. I want to eat all the good food. I want to see sand dunes as far as I can see. I want to see the southern lights. I dream of building my own home and making a fantastic garden. I dream of having dogs. I want to live my life the way I am, and the way I want to.

I hope that is a good enough answer haha, it was kind of rambly
