If you don't know me, then you don't know I've basically been in school my whole life! I've had a tumultuous relationship with school, and the journey to this day has been a long one!
I finished high school and went straight into university studying jazz piano and voice... I finished one year and had a breakdown (haha) and took a couple years off. I then went to makeup school for a year and became a makeup artist for print and film. Did that for a little while, but was offered a full scholarship to return to music school. I returned, got pregnant, and quit... AGAIN!!! When my son was 6 months old I went back to school, FOR GOOD, and after 3 years finished my Bachelors of Music in Jazz. I taught at a music academy for a year, and then got accepted to Simon Fraser University for my teacher training (PDP) and teacher certification. Today is my last day of school. I say it's forever, but the reality is I will probably go back and get my Masters when my son is a little older. So.... Today is a big day for me. I have basically sacrificed seeing my son grow up these past 5 years, but everyone keeps telling me "it's for our own good." I hope so!!
