Remembering Teaching

I had so many great moments when I was teaching. It was great. I had an awesome opportunity to really reach out to my students and it was something that I’ll never regret. Imagine being able to be an active part of their success. That’s what I was able to achieve when I was teaching.

I remember helping students prepare for projects. I remember helping students get ready for competitions. I remember teaching students their ABC’s for the first time. I have so many great memories of when I was in the classroom. It’s something that I will never, ever forget.

It’s a powerful job being a teacher. You can touch the lives of your students for years to come.

What Do You Do?

I am asked this question often. It seems like everyone wants to know what kind of work I am in, but since it can be difficult to define exactly what kind of work I do, it’s sometimes hard to answer the question in a way that the person can understand what I am saying. I sometimes feel like I should just make something up that will satisfy them.

I don’t really want to make my position sound better than it is and I don’t want to sell my position short. That’s why I have started referring to my work as a freelance marketer. A freelance marketer is someone who markets products for other people. That seems to work.
