The Isle of the Lost and My Thesis

I was able to finish working on one of my independent variables for my thesis, specifically Parent's Educational Socialization.

I wrote it while listening to Disney Descendants Soundtrack, on REPEAT.

Specifically, Rotten to the Core and Be Our Guest.

Disney's new movie and new cast is nothing but another work of art. I even got me a copy of the novel "The Isle of the Lost" because I'm just that much of a fan of Disney.

Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood. And thanks to you, I've actually done something productive in terms of writing my thesis !! ❤️

September

This month is a busy month for me. I have a lot of events to attend to. 

Because of this, I was reminded to prepare my calling card. 

I created the layout of the calling card for my professional organization. A minimalist yet professional look. 

I love my role!

Changing how we teach and maximizing the power of #Assessment in the #21stCentury with #EducationalTechnology

Students #Clingy

I think I have only a few group photos with the students I used to handle this past academic year... I feel so attached! 

I've been wanting to have copies of the photos I have with them but I can't seem to locate it. I don't even know who's camera was used. I wish they send photos I'm in :(( 

Here is a group photo of us when I visited their recruitment booth. So many things have happened in my first half of the year and I think when I create a new "walk my world 2015" page, I actually don't know anymore what photos I'll be putting !!! 

This is such a lovely photo. I'm still trying to decipher if I stand out as a faculty or I remain to blend in as a student lol. If I was wearing jeans.. I'd probably blend in. Ha! 

But for now.. Hi guys, miss you all. I will still attend your events because I have no friends. LOL I mean, because organizations are so fun!!!!!! ❤️👍

So proud of you guys this year you have a bunch of activities and projects all lined up!!!!! And all the things we have talked about last year are not being put into reality. 

I'm so proud 😭.
