I decided to start a blog because put simply, I love to write! I love expressing myself with words and photos and being able to share what I know with other people. I am not saying that I am a qualified genius; however I do do my research before expressing an opinion. I am not asking people to take everything that I say as gospel. I am simply asking you to keep an open mind. Any opinions or recommendations that I make is based purely on my research (with appropriate sources of course) and how I have used the information in my own life. I wanted to take ownership of something and be able have fun with it along the way. I am looking forward to connecting with like minded people.
Since being diagnosed a Coeliac 12 months ago, I took it upon myself to gather as much information as I could about Coeliac Disease. During my research process I stumbled across an overwhelming amount of information related to all things health. I became immersed in my research and it was like an addiction. I needed to educate myself more. My addiction for health education became so exciting that I just wanted to share the information I had learnt with everyone that I talked to. Still to this day, you can not get me to shut up about health.
My poor students (especially senior) hear me finding a way to ‘mention’ new theories or facts that I have just learnt on a daily basis. Our role as a teacher is to educate and prepare students for the best life possible. The thing I find hard as a teacher is, I can educate my students about nutrition all day. They will know exactly what they need to eat; however mum and dad won’t buy it for them in the groceries. That’s where my blog comes into play. I strongly believe that education does not need to stop once we leave school no matter who you are. Learning is a life long journey and we can’t expect to grow and support younger generations if we are unwilling to keep learning ourselves.
I want to live a life that is full of endless opportunities that will provide me with love, happiness and good health.
