I love the Earth as much as I love me

A 1989 family video documents my five-year-old self saying I want to be a teacher when I grow up.&nbsp; Now I'm grown up. I still want to be a teacher.&nbsp; I have taught in several educational institutions since graduating Hamilton College with a BA in cultural anthropology in 2006, starting as a tutor for a Sylvan Learning Center, followed by a brief stint as a substitute and handwork teacher at a Waldorf school, later I taught a group of high school students about cultural rites of passage and did many care-taking jobs with toddlers in between.&nbsp; I once thought I'd teach in public schools, but after some careful observation I decided that the regime was too restrictive for my spirit, if I were going to teach, I had to teach the things I was passionate about.&nbsp; Therefore I dedicated my 20's to learning the skills that I would feel proud to pass on to youngsters.&nbsp; I learned how to play the ukulele, I became a Master Gardener, I learned how to be a good communitarian, intuiting common needs, I learned how to farm, how to be a good partner, and an excellent friend.&nbsp; I learned yoga and meditation.&nbsp; I learned how to live authentically as myself, unabashedly and free.&nbsp; I learned how to climb trees.&nbsp; I read about permaculture, I planted trees, I know how to create a forest garden, I can identify wild edibles.&nbsp; I can cook amazing vegetarian food.&nbsp; I can preserve the harvest, sew and knit.&nbsp; I speak three languages and am learning a fourth.&nbsp; I now feel I have skills I would be proud to teach children.&nbsp; I am ready to embark on the quest of creating a school that inspires me.<br>
