"A Sprinkle in Time"

By DTaylor2016

  • Happy Birthday

    I was born in Daytona Beach, Florida, healthy and cute.

  • I'm a Big Kid Now!

    I started school!

  • Gifted

    I tested in the 96th percentile on the Florida Comprehension Assessment Test and was recommended to be tested into the gifted program. I failed the test for gifted the first time, purposefully, because I did not want to transfer schools. My mom and teacher made me take it again, I scored really high. My mom let me stay at my school, as long as I received straight A's. I fulfilled my promise.

  • Spartan Dolls

    I tried out to become a Spartan Doll in middle school, and I was one of four incoming sixth graders who made the dance team. It was hard to get on. I had beat many 6th-8th grade girls for my spot.

  • Beep! Beep! Coming Through

    I received my driver's license.

  • Buc Pride Never Dies

    I graduated from high school!

  • Go Gators

    I was accepted and commenced my journey at THE GREAT University of Florida!

  • Adieu Orange and Blue

    I graduated from UF!

  • Goodbye Florida, Hello DMV!

    I moved to Maryland to become a teacher in Baltimore.

  • Closing the gap

    I moved to Maryland, and became an ELA teacher for 6th grade, in Baltimore. My students struggle with literacy. Part of that reason is my students lack foundation skills. I am now a 7th grade teacher, teaching the same students. I see many growths between this year and last, but they still struggle with comprehension, spelling, writing, ect. My role has changed, so has my perspective, on literacy, too. I am no longer concerned with just my ability, but those I teach, as well.
