This is not related, but also related to everything. They say our life experiences make us who we are, so I guess it’s very related. I have an axe to grind, and I need to vent. I have an issue with real-life experiences that negatively impact the lives of people being ignored until a celebrity suffers from…

Unsure what has gotten into me but, I am three for three…kinda freaking myself out to be honest. This is a whole other issue that drives me crazy. Maybe it’s my sensitivity dysmorphia or the chip on my shoulder from years of struggle, not just for myself but for those like me. Who are you? What…

Ok, I have decided to make this a thing. I know you are thinking what thing? This thing… I write, then I don’t, then I do. I make promises to write more often, but then I don’t follow through. The unpredictability of my current situation causes me such anxiety. I want to be consistent with this blog.…

I respectfully ask that you do not tell me you know how I feel or how I am feeling because you have no clue. It is just an insult. It would be like me claiming that just because I have ADHD, I know how other individuals with ADHD feel. I DO NOT! I may have an idea but…

As I revisit my first op-ed, a piece that never saw the light of day, I am reminded of the issue’s urgency. It was born out of frustration, a feeling of being unheard in my arguments with the school board about the elephant in the room. The lack of support for students, particularly the failure…

I came across this on my computer as I attempt to organize my life. I wrote this awhile ago and forgto about it so figured why not share. I have to admit, as a parent, I am guilty of providing my kids with cell phones and gaming systems. I was not great at regulating their ‘screen…

It has been a lot; this year has included many changes, some of which I could go along with, and others challenged me. For those who do not know my history, I could say go back and read my previous blog posts, but that would be a jerk thing to say, and I do not think…

I had to write a paper for one of my classes this year. I actually had to write multiple long papers, but this one is fresh in my mind. Oh, ya! I made it through the first year of my PhD. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I had to write a paper for…
