Before I was a teacher, I never realized just how many different skills you actually need to have to be successful at it. Teaching always reminded me of putting on a play. You’re the script writer, the director, the stage manager, the prop master, the orchestra, and the actors all…
I worked at a daycare during the summer before my senior year of high school. Looking back, I can see now that it was a pretty rough establishment, and working there actually made me very hesitant to send my own child to daycare, even years later. I had two incidents that I can still…
My husband and I have known each other since middle school, but didn’t start dating until the last few months of our senior year. We ran our school’s concession stand together every day that year, so we became friends through that. But, we actually got close one day when I texted…
My partner always tucks me in at night since he usually goes to bed a couple of hours after me. Whatever we’re doing, whether separate or together, I let him know that I’m ready to go to bed and he keeps me company while I take my contacts out and brush my teeth, etc. Then he turns…
In 2006, my entire 8th grade class took a field trip which included a visit to a local cemetery which mostly had graves of people who died 100+ years ago. Each of us were given a worksheet with tasks like “Find a grave of someone with the same birthday as you and write their name…

I had a massive amount of dental work that needed to get done when I was about 22, so the dentist decided to put me under conscious sedation and just knock it all out in like 4 hours. It’s supposed to keep you awake enough to follow prompts but not actually be aware of anything or…
I’ve spent my entire life in southeast Louisiana, and the biggest shock tourists and visitors seem to have (besides Mardi Gras) is our drive-thru daiquiri shops (it’s legal to have it in your car so long as the straws aren’t poked through the lids) and alcohol being sold in literally…
I got a new pair of shoes when I was around 7, I think, and my mom called them “sneakers”. I assumed that anything I did while wearing those shoes automatically made me sneaky and I didn’t need to be quiet or anything. My older sister quickly disabused me of that notion.
