True love

So in my third year of teaching at Charles Leopold Bell school, we actually got a gym teacher. Yay, finally. Even better, he was single and cute. Now I never thought I would find someone to love or even someone who would actually love me. One day I was talking after school with some colleagues, including the new gym teacher, and I actually offered to make him a whistle necklace out of loom bands. Now I worked day and night to make one in ONE WEEKEND.....

That was the start of our beautiful relationship. That necklace confirmed to him that I liked him, which he responded on to ask me out on a date. Now that year already started our great because I started a cheerleading squad. Which won the public schools sports day, as I may add.






Oke… So we started dating and then a hurricane came along.... Shocker right... Anyway his apartment did not have light and water for a long time. Unlike my apartment. So from one thing came another and we are in this full fledge relationship like WOW!! Then came the positive pregnancy test and we both wanted to get married before our bundle of joy came along. So long story short, before the school year ended we were engaged and pregnant. Woop Woop…….




And of course I graduated!!!!!!!!

Third year teaching

Now this school year I was teaching 2nd grade which started off not so great in regards to the students. Yet after evaluation and some rearranging we managed to get things a little better. It was still a LOT of work with a LOT of behavior management. Yet when I look at the children and how MUCH they have achieved in just one year, my heart is filled with joy and I am very proud of my students. When I say that I am proud of them, I really mean that I am extremely proud seeing the circumstances that happened in September. You can already feel it coming right? Yes, HURRICANE IRMA!!! My class was destroyed, my personal chair broke, and a lot of  teaching books got wet and moldy.... sigh..... That was terrible. That was horrible. The before, during, and especially after which still affects more than have the island and school even up to NOW! (August 2018) None the less we wanted Alexia's 2nd birthday to be memorable even if we had to make cut backs in the grocery sh...

First year teaching

My first year teaching my own class..... I was excited and TIRED. My due date was in January, the wedding was planned in October and I did not have the easiest class. Yet I made due and despite the many accidents (had a very violent student) my angel was born perfect.  Yes, she is a very proud Jamaican. Just like her daddy XD. Of course our wedding was AWESOME. We had a great time even though it was stressful planning everything in that small time that we had. BUT happy that we got to marry before our wonder came (both religiously and regarding the paperwork). After a great pregnancy leave, bonding with my daughter, I had to go back to school to finish up the school year. Unfortunately it did not go well and all in all I had a very bad first year. So I ended up requesting to be moved to a different school where I could start back over for the next school year.

Hurricane Isaac

Welcome to the hurricane season everyone!!! Helena did not cause us any harm, just the needed showers for the plants. Isaac however got us a day off, Thursday, nice day with lots of sun and wind. Unfortunately the Friday it had showers all through the day and we had to work. My classroom is still LEAKING, so we had a rain party in there.  Luckily the only trouble Isaac caused was some flooding and some big wind gusts throughout the days. We also had a family whom 4 year old died because of the candy drugs that are circulating Sint Maarten at the moment. (see picture below) This is very tragic and after hearing this news, I finally could make sense what his brother kept telling me. "Jufrouw, my brother died because he ate to much candy." VERY SAD and heartbreaking. Now let's go the the good news for the week, we finally finished the crafts for the theme. Crowns and magic wands. and they came out good. unortunalty not all child...
