An Open Letter To The Kids In My Care

This is much more than just a job.

Dear Kids,

You haven't known me very long, but all of you have already told me how much you love me. You tell me I'm your favorite teacher. All of you make it a point to play with me and hug me every single time you see me and that makes me feel so special. One of you even drew me a picture yesterday and it's hanging up on my fridge. I love being your teacher and I think I have the best job in the whole wide world. As I am writing this, I am anxiously waiting for it to be time for me to get to go to work so I can see all of you!

Since working at this daycare in the preschool and toddler rooms, I have become much sweeter, nicer, energetic, and playful. These are things I never thought I could be. Thank you for giving me the energy I didn't know I had. I've learned how I want to raise my own future children; with nothing but love and kindness. You've proven to me that no one has to yell to get your attention or scold you to get you to listen. As a matter of fact, you've also inspired me to become a Montessori preschool teacher. That's something I never thought I would want or would be good at, but now it's all I can think about. I want to feel like this all the time.

I love coming up with lesson plans, teaching you Spanish, reading to you, and doing art projects with you. It brings me joy to see you learn something new and it makes me so proud of you. I don't think I could be any prouder of you if I was your parent. I'm so glad I made the decision to apply for this job on a whim because this is much more than work to me, it's very quickly become a passion. So, thanks, kids. I already love you as much as you love me.

Love,

Miss Hanna

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
