I am a teacher at a new charter school in Blackfoot, Idaho, USA. One of my students just introduced this website to me this morning and talked me into signing up.
    Although I am a teacher now, I have had a myriad of other jobs leading up to what I am doing now. It is said that we are a combination of our backgrounds and life experiences, but I like to think that we are all more than the sum of our parts. 
     I love to read, and would like to someday write a book or two or more . . . my students like this idea and I am sure that is why one of them felt compelled to introduce me to this site. I like the idea too and hope to find  many good things to read and the courage to submit some of my own items.
