1. My first snow on Thanksgiving Day! Look at our backyard! I was eating breakfast when I saw this through our window! What????? Unbelievable!
2. Better marriage! Alex and I have been better in our communication and partnership. I really want to thank God for this because marriage is hard work. It is not for the faint of heart.
3. Cinzia's health and intelligence - Cinzia is a smart girl emotionally and cognitively. She likes to go to school and learn. She is also inquisitive. Right now, she likes listening to Kpop music. It drives me crazy, but this just tells me that she is growing normally. There are things that she likes and she does not like. Guess what we got her for Christmas? BTS backpack and sweater! I am sure she will be ecstatic!
4. My job - My job has been a blessing, although it is difficult due to curriculum pressures and kids' behavior. With this job, I learned how to be intentional in my pedagogical practices, understand kids who have traumatic backgrounds, and adjust when needed. Also, I was able to pay my debts faster than usual. I am thankful for the pay raise from my previous job. Next school year, there is another pay raise because I will be in a different salary step. It will be Year 12 for me as a teacher. I thank God for this opportunity.
5. Goals - I am hoping to finish my doctorate next year. I plan to start working on my administrative credential. I am also hoping to be able to help a couple build a family. It is also our dream to buy a house next year. So many goals! This time, they are bigger! So help me God!
Happy thanksgiving!
