My name is Megan Scapin, but if you read my profile thing you probably already know that.
I am a recent graduate of St. Norbert College (Class of 2013) and have just finished my first year as a full grown adult person. I was lucky enough to find a full time job as a 7th grade Language Arts Teacher, which allowed me to move into my own apartment, have my own insurance, pay my own bills, and basically enter real life.
I have decided to keep this blog for a couple of reasons...
- During my senior year I was able to spend about 2 months abroad teaching in St. Lucia. While I was in the Caribbean I kept a blog and I really loved it. It was a great way to reflect and share my experiences, whether people actually read them or not.
- I have family and friends spread throughout the United States, and even the world... and I am supremely awful at keeping in touch through phone calls, emails, and especially text messages. This seemed like a solid alternative to feeling awful every time I leave a voicemail in my mailbox and still forget to call someone back.
- Hopefully writing on a regular basis will help to improve my writing skills. Since I no longer have 10 page papers I'm scrambling to finish the night before they're due I need someway to continue to grow and develop the skill I'm supposed to be teaching my students.
- This will definitely be an entertaining thing to look back on in years to come. Almost like a mini, digital time capsule, capturing my voice, opinions, and daily musings as a 23 year old.
- Maybe this can serve as a source of inspiration, encouragement, or just humor for others out in the world trying to find themselves and survive real life.
If you choose to continue reading thanks! It's sure to be an interesting ride.
