don't be a hardrock when you really are a gem

About Me

i'm 23 and happily married. i've been out of school for two years and i work as a tutor and ESL teacher. i'm hoping to apply to phD programs in education soon.i can't say that life has changed much since i've been out of school. the big differences are that i'm more broke than ever and probably happier than i used to be. that said, i've become more of a homebody. even though we go dancing once a week, our lifestyle is different. i've grown to really love the place that i call home. i really love the home that my husband and i are building together and more than that, i love that we talk about our dreams like they are things that we are really working towards.then again, as rewarding as that seems, things have changed, too. part of the reason that we can work towards our dreams is that our dreams are less lofty and our goals are more practical. sometimes, i miss being a college kid. i miss having the freedom to want everything and i hope that i can enable myself to be back there, to be that free.
