I am happily sitting down from a long day of teaching in my new library. My husband has been a tremendous help with all of it, including the finishing touches. I am fortunate to have such a wonderful place to work (although I wish the sun would stream through the orange fall leaves right now).
As I was sitting down, I had no idea what I might write about today. I sat in my chair, looked out at the gorgeous fall view outside my room and the blog that I was reading yesterday popped back up. Making History. We are all making history. We need to remember that. It may not be in grand ways that dance across the cover of a paper or make the evening news, but we all make history. We cause change. Many years ago, I believed I wanted to be a principal or other administrator. BAH! No desire to do that now. That is not me. I know where my strengths are and where my passions lie. I love history. I love to travel. I love to teach kids. With this being said, my website, Moffat's Travels, was born. Today I had a delightful conversation with a parent that will be traveling to DC with her family. They have been many times before and she and I were sharing itineraries in the area. She was trying to decide between Gettysburg or other Pennsylvania sites. I suggested Colonial Williamsburg. I have had the fortunate opportunity to travel with summer teacher scholarships. I have been to been to Chicago, Monterey, Philadelphia, Springfield, Gettysburg, and Colonial Williamsburg on teacher scholarships. I have traveled to many major cities with my own family. I love all of it. I loved being able to share some of the insights into these places and what might interest their daughter. As an educator and a travel fanatic, this brings me great pleasure. I may not move mountains, but I open doors to young minds. I open those doors daily through my teaching, private conversations and the opportunities I take advantage of. That is my history.
