About Me

For the past 10 years, I have really enjoyed working as a Teacher and a School Literacy Coach. 
Here is my "I am" poem about all of the different aspects of my life...

I Am...
I am me, Amy, wife, mom, teacher, coach...and a writer?!
I wonder...can really write everyday…
I hear twinkling music, snoring, coughing, crying…
I see streetlights, headlights, nightlights, desk lights.
I want a quiet moment with the keys and the screen...

I am me, Amy, wife, mom, teacher, coach and a writer?
I pretend I am listening really thinking--
                            my mind is drifting…about my next piece of writing

I feel a shiver, a shudder, a quiver-wondering if I can be free?
I gently touch the keys to break free from distractions!

I worry am I spending time when it matters...

                           I cry when I realize nothing stays the same!

I am me, Amy, wife, mom, teacher, coach and a writer.
I understand why nothing stays the same.

I say that change is a good thing.
I dream that change can happen and be positive.
I try to reflect on the outcome of change!

I hope that reflection can lead to growth.
I am me, Amy, wife, mom, teacher, coach and a writer!



This poem about me was inspired during the beginning of my personal work to become better at writing so I could teach it better...inspired by my friend Sue.
