Bucket List Item 5: Ssese Island

                I am getting really good at checking these items off the bucket list. This weekend we decided to celebrate the 4th of July in the middle of Lake Victoria. It was a blast. We stayed at a hostel that was close to the beach that allowed us to enjoy beautiful sunsets. During the day we walked from our hotel to another hotel that had a beautiful pool and beach front. The island didn’t have the best cell service which was honestly incredible not needing to check your phone every few hours. We found some decent food on the island and enjoyed incredible weather. If I am honest we enjoyed the weather a tad bit more. At night we hung out, drank, played card games, and played beer pong. There was a club, but we were not able to go to the club. We also got to ride a sweet ferry to the island and that made some of us feel like home. I am going to let the pictures do the rest of the speaking, because that will be enough.

Teaching is my Calling

Image
Since I was a little girl I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I went through my phases of other possible career paths. However, my desire always went back to teaching. Something about teaching is that you are never going to know if it is the right career path until you actually begin your career. I started teaching when I first started going to Uganda but it was only a couple months at a time. Then of course with my job at STAR but again it was different.I couldn’t fully say that teaching was the right career path for me until joining the Peace Corps and teaching my pupils all day every day. Teaching is definitely hard and time consuming. Your job is never over. You teach all day, go home and mark or lesson plan, and you sit on Pinterest trying to find new and creative ways to spice up your lessons. I wouldn’t have it any other way though. I honestly love lesson planning, and I mean who doesn’t love sitting on Pinterest. I am not a huge fan of marking though. It…

Hello Again

Well blogger world, I am back in America and I am back blogging. I know I have been gone for awhile and boy do I have a lot to share with you. I have been back in America for about a month and I already have a new car and a full time job. I honestly think that I haven't had time to process everything, but all in all I am doing really well. I am adjusting fairly well to being back in America, which I honestly think is probably because I have been going non stop. I mean I have been trying so hard not to think about Uganda because I am afraid of what I am going to begin to feel.

Here is a very quick update about my life for those of you who have been following my journey. I am officially an RPCV (Returned Peace Corps Volunteer) living back in America. I am working at STAR again as an after school teacher but it is now full time because STAR is incredible. I truly have missed that company and it is so good to be back. I am also trying to make new friends because well because I need s…

Boudoir Shoot

Image
When I got back from America I had gained some weight because of how I was eating while I was in town. I was very down on myself and I fell back to how I used to feel about myself fat and ugly. I was so bummed about that because I had come so damn far with my body image and I was going to fall back. With that, I decided I wanted to do a photo shoot in order remind myself how truly beautiful I am. I decided to do a boudoir shoot with a friend of mine as the photographer and it was the best idea for me. I look at the pictures and I see a beautiful girl even if she had gained a bit of weight. I remember that my weight doesn’t make me beautiful I am that no matter what my size is. Because of how much it has inspired my body image I have decided to post those photos on Instagram to inspire others and to remind everyone that we are all beautiful and our size doesn’t define us. I struggled with whether or not I should post these photos but I feel like they can truly encourage an…
