Pikachu, I Still Choose You <3
I now have the pleasure to introduce to you the new Pokémon Champion, MissPikachuification! I graduated on May 11, 2013 with all my friends and family surrounding me and I can say it was a rewarding experience! I am going to take this time to actually feel pride in myself and give myself a pat on the back. 5 years ago I graduated high school, which was not meant to be. I then started college at UNM Taos to start my basics for a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. At this time I felt disheartened and wanted to drop out of college. Anyone can ask my friend Mew how bad I felt and the trials I went through. 3 years ago I moved to Las Vegas, NM and began my core classes at New Mexico Highlands University. I also fell in love with the man who would become my everything. Today, I am a college graduate from NMHU with two Bachelor Degrees, married to the man of my dreams, live in Phoenix, AZ, and am a hired teacher for a charter school. This Pika has done a lot with the help of friends and family. Most of all, I helped myself get out of a cycle that was meant to be my future. I am beyond happy for myself and the things I have accomplished! I set out to be just like Pikachu, the light at the end of the tunnel; the one you can always turn to for encouragement. I did it Pika fans and so can you! This is who  I am and the woman I was always meant to be. So in closing, this will be my last entry for this blog for I will be starting a new one filled with upcoming new adventures. Remember when you need someone, I'll always be there to hold you up. I love you all for your support <3


Love Always and Forever,

MissPikachuification

About to Defeat the Elite Four! (College)

So here we are, stuck in the middle of an intense Pokemon Battle and this Pikachu needs a revive and quick! MissPikachuification used Thunder! BAM! I've got them on the run but suddenly Student Teaching uses a Full Restore, damn it! This extreme battle will continue on for another two weeks. That's it ladies and gents, I only have two more weeks of Student Teaching left and Mr. Pikachuification and I will be graduating college! This experience has been extreme and excruciating but we made it! The Mr. will have his BBA in Business Management and I will have my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Special Education! You heard me right, I'm graduating with two Bachelor Degrees and believe me it was worth it. Aside from all the drama and bull crap you have to deal with here at the Education Department, I believe I have learned so much about myself and will strive to be the best teacher I can be. I come from a long line of teachers in my family, I hope I can make everyone proud. I honestly have to say, I'm going to miss everyone when I leave from here. I love the people I've met and am so grateful for everything they have done for me and taught me but it's time for me to go. This Pika is getting ready to start a new adventure. My time here in New Mexico (Kanto) is over, my journey in Arizona (Johto) is about to begin. Keep in touch Pika fans and I will blog again when the epic battle is over <3

Love always,

MissPikachuification

Song of the month: <3

I AM NOT DEAD. I just grew up.

MissPikachuification is back in the building ladies and gentlemen and she is not going any where. I can tell you right now that this experience of student teaching has been one that I will never forget. I appreciate everything that my cooperating teachers have done for me and the joy I get from the students which I will hold close to my heart. Other than all the joy I receive from it, I also have gained a sense of the slap in the face reality. I spoke to my friend whom I shall name on here Jake, and we spoke of how much life has changed for the both of us. Both of us becoming professionals in the world along with the challenges of heart break and empty pockets; I think overall we're doing right by us. Yet we question, where has our childhood gone? What happened to the days of being crazy and free? Well in my opinion, I still believe we're crazy as hell and free but with more restrictions because of our professionalism. I just want that feeling back. I want to feel that utterly loving and wild child soul I have deep down within me. So the time is nearing Pika fans, I am here to announce that I AM NOT DEAD, I just grew up. It's time to bring back that lust for life and drive to finish out my final semester of college and become a graduate with two BAs in Elementary Education and Special Education. Like Jake always said, "When I'm at school I am your teacher, but when you see me outside these walls, I am just like any other person out there." So be ready world because Pika is back in action and ready to live out her eventful 20's as a professional and as a kid <3 It's time to get less serious and enjoy my life in which I have created for myself.

Time changes all but the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Professor Pikachu

Hey there all! So I am currently on my third week of student teaching and let me tell you it's been a rewarding experience. There are so many things that I am learning and getting to understand that my college courses just couldn't describe well. I now know that this is for sure my profession and I am proud to call it my own. I would have to say that this semester has been already through many ups and downs. Between juggling work, class, and married life, I come to find I have become quite the adult. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was small, playing Pokemon video games on the couch while watching tv..... wait that's still me lol. I guess no matter how much I age, I will always still be me. Through upcoming events of having a career and wanting to have children in the future, I will always still be the young Pikachu who picked up a Pokemon Yellow game and has since never stopped loving the feeling of my own freedom. Hey, I hate to say it but not only did my Gameboy Color and my Pokemon games help me learn to read, but it taught me to think of myself and think strategically at that so thank you Game Freak!!! I don't feel I will ever lose my inner child even though I see my own student's playing the Pokemon Trading Card game O . o It surprises me at times now, seeing all my classmates all grown up and having families of their own and seeing my best friend half way through his first year of professionally teaching. So proud of him! It makes me wonder where am I going to be in the next five years? Where do I  see myself? All I can do is assume and hope for the best. Welp I'm not going to try and think of that right now I still have to pay a butt load of money for my teaching license lol. For all my teachers out there, I commend you! And shout out to my high school teacher, Mrs. Adams. I really couldn't have done this without her help and encouragement. She's the reason I went into teaching in the first place... I'll make you proud Mrs!

Love Always
Miss Pikachuification
