We avoid eye contact with each other. All of us. Like we’re in a video game where everyone else is a non-playing character in our personal storyline. But not you. You just clicked on my About Me page. Great job! You just recognized that I am a person and maybe you want to know more. Just remember, it’s okay if we disagree on things – that’s what leads to the progression of ideas.
As for my story, I am an optimistic, adventure-seeking, feminist, activist, anti-racist, liberal, music-loving, yoga-centered, outdoorsy, educator and writer. I write about all of the aforementioned topics, but with a focus on educational issues. I’m a former high school special education teacher and have a Master of Science in neuroscience and education from Columbia University.

I loved your “About me” page. in fact, I just wrote a blog today that seems to mimic your sentiments about engaging with strangers and regaining our social humanity. Good luck with sharing your thoughts!

Hey, Trynia. (I’m assuming that’s your name by your email)
I love what you’re doing. What you said really stuck out to me: “because each of them is the main character in his or her own storyline, and you have the opportunity to play a part.” That way of looking at social interaction is fantastic and makes me want to become a part of more stories.

You just made my day by commenting! Thank you. I think we can all be more compassionate and cognizant of the fact that people all have their own problems and lives. We can either be a positive influence or a negative. So thank you for the positivity!
