It was a blessing and an honor to speak at SXSW EDU 2025.
I spent so much time preparing for this moment, and overcoming the personal and professional challenges that came with it, that now, after the experience, I’m left with the most important question:
What’s next?

The last week of January brought forth a lot of challenges.
I had a field trip to secure, and a student assembly to organize on top of my regular classes, recess duty and exit duty.
But tonight is the WWE Royal Rumble and all is right in my world!

Honestly, it’s moments like this that make teaching worth it. Let your students choose how they use their time—you might just get a classroom full of readers. Who knew?

I backed into the corner of my whiteboard, caught my pants, and tore a hole through the left cheek. Now I have a piece of masking tape over it so I'm not teaching ass out for the rest of the day. Perfect day for red underwear 😫

Left my juniors alone for 10 minutes while I wrapped up an activity with the seniors.
Snuck back in ready to catch them slacking.
Instead, they were deep in discussion about Oedipus the King—debating themes and completing their assignments.
What’s happening to kids these days?

I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the lyrics to Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot as a poem by William Shakespeare. The result did not disappoint.

Vacation day 2 started with a nice walk up to Cerro de la Cruz and a continued walk around Antigua, Guatemala. I've been lucky to live here for twelve years, but it never gets old.
