Patience is key

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

One of my favorite qualities is my patience when working with children to teach them. It’s important to have patience because some kids may try to test me, but witnessing the spark in their eyes when they finally understand something they didn’t grasp before is incredibly rewarding.

Fun Math

Math is cool

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

Oh, what fun!

—–

Addition is first

One plus one equals two

Look at me!

—-

Next is Subtraction

Watch out can be tricky

Nope not today

Third is multiplication

I get it, repeated addition

Is the way

Lastly its division

Equal shares are needed for all

On a roll

Come and Try

Fun with math is waiting

Just keep trying.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Here are a couple of my drawings on Sonic the hedgehog. I know I have some other drawings of him, but I need to look for them. As a dedicated fan of the Sonic video game series, I have always found inspiration in its vibrant characters and dynamic world. Sonic’s unparalleled speed and adventurous spirit have always resonated. I sought to convey Sonic’s energy and determination in every piece.

Sirius Black

I’m totally obsessed with the Harry Potter world, and I’ve got to admit, Sirius Black is my absolute favorite character. There’s just something about his mysterious vibe, his fierce loyalty, and his multifaceted personality that really fascinates me. I was like super determined to capture his essence.

CRY
WAIL
SOB

When tears fall, we see the pain,
A wail escapes, like pouring rain.
We sob and ache, our fragile hearts,
Seeking solace as sadness departs.

Oldest Thing

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

The one thing that I have that is the oldest and I am still using daily would be my 2005 Chevy Aveo. I have had many great adventures with the car and I am hoping I have a few more as well.

Social Anxiety

The thought of judgment, the fear of rejection
Keeps me locked in my own self-protection

I watch from afar, wishing I could be
A part of the laughter, the joy, the glee
But my mind plays tricks, telling me lies
That I’m not good enough, that I should hide

So I retreat back into my shell
Where it’s safe and quiet, away from the swell
Of people and noise, the chaos of life
Where my social anxiety cuts like a knife

But deep down inside, I know it’s not true
That I am worthy, just like you
So I’ll take a deep breath, and step out once more
Facing my fears, opening the door

To a world of possibilities, of connections and love
Where my social anxiety can’t hold me above
I’ll break free from its grip, and live my life
Out and about, without fear or strife.

WORRY

ANXIOUS

EMOTIONAL

Worry consumes like fog that’s here to stay,
Anxious thoughts won’t seem to go away.
Emotions running wild, hard to control,
But in the end, peace consoles the soul.

Favorite moments

Describe one of your favorite moments.

A few months ago, I had a truly memorable experience as a teacher. I encountered a shy girl who was hesitant to talk. Despite my efforts, she remained hesitant. However, during one of our sessions, she bravely decided to share her thoughts. Her willingness to participate brought a huge smile to my face, and my heart filled with joy. Witnessing her newfound confidence and her ability to engage with the material was truly remarkable. It was a beautiful moment to see her grow and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Baby Yoda

I created this piece on May 4th in honor of the ‘May the 4th be with you’ celebration, but I didn’t have the chance to finish it at the time. Now, I’m excited to announce that I’ve completed it and I’m overjoyed to share it with everyone. I put a lot of thought and effort into this, and I genuinely hope that you all like it.

HORRIFIC
MUNDANE
NORMAL

There once was a day so horrific,
Work conflicts made it quite specific,
But chatting with a friend,
On his book had no end,
Making the mundane truly terrific.

Notable things

What notable things happened today?

Today, the most notable thing that happened to me was that my coworker decided to take issue with some of the things I was doing, which made for an unpleasant day at work. Hence the sarcasm. I also spent much time talking with a great friend about publishing his book. Apart from that, it was just a typical day.

Sweetheart Tree- Poem and Artwork

Sweetheart Tree

Underneath the old oak’s shade,
Stands a tree where lovers strayed.
No name carved into its bark,
Just the echoes of hearts sparked.

TABLET
SCREEN
KEYS

In the dim glow of the screen,
I tap the keys, lost in a digital dream,
My tablet a window to worlds unseen,
Where words flow like a serene stream.
