My first blog.

 This is my first blog. Ever. I'm not quite sure what to write about or how to write it.  Someone suggested I use it to record my experiences in the world of education.  I suppose I will be sharing stories (both good and bad), tips, and lesson plans, and things of that nature.

 I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to tell you about myself. Well here it goes. My name is Kate and I am a recent college graduate.  I majored in Secondary English Education with a minor in community service studies.  After years of working with students both in and out of Chicago's projects and public schools, no job was awaiting me after graduation.  After 5 months of searching, I managed to land a TA position in a suburban school district.  Although this was not initially my "dream job", I am learning many valuable lessons of my own along the way.

This is the part where I let you into my head.
