Dear future students,

You don't know me yet. I am head-over-heels ready to meet each and every one of you. I hope that I can be the person that you look up to for the next 180 days of school that we will share together. Being your teacher comes with great responsibility, a responsibility that I will always put first. As your teacher, there are a few hopes of my own that I wish for you as you enter my classroom:

1. I hope you always feel safe.

I promise you, our classroom will be a safe place. Just know that whatever may be bothering you, that I will always be here for you.

2. I hope you know you are loved.

Through the good and the bad, you will hold a special place in my heart.

3. I hope you learn to love school.

I hope that throughout the days you spend in my classroom, your love for school grows and that learning is something you actually enjoy.

4. I hope you believe in yourself.

Take the time to believe in yourself like I believe in you. You are capable and I know you will be able to conquer anything you put your mind to.

5. I hope you realize that being wrong is okay.

I will never degrade you or belittle you for answering something wrong. My job is to help you learn and I will do the best I can in the most compassionate way.

6. I hope you know that your grades or your test scores do not define you.

A grade is just a letter and a score is just a number. But, you? You are everything. You are composed of intelligence, talents, and individual quirks that mean far more than a grade or score.

7. I hope you know that I will always be here for you.

My biggest goal is to develop a relationship of trust within each and every one of you. If anything, please know that I will never let you down.

School may seem scary at first, but I am so ready for our adventure together.

Love,

Your future teacher

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
