I love shoes, I love nautical themes, therefore I love nautical themed shoes.
This World I Love
A lively mid-20s inner-school teacher trying to find the perfect balance of happiness and chaos. (formally happiness and glitter)

I love the different glasses. And obviously pink champagne!
I love being in a pink mood.

Expectations
One of the cool things about Geoffrey Canada, founder of the Harlem Children’s zone, is his New York-style bluntness.
In a speech at the 2011 Mackinac Policy Conference, Canada said it’s ridiculous that we debate about which kids should be prepared for college, and which others should be tracked toward other post-high school options.
“When in doubt, I always say you should do what rich people do,” he said. “Because it seems to be working out for them.”
Canada said he has never met a wealthy person who considers anything but college — and the very best college, at that — for any of their children.
“You never see a rich person with three kids say, well, I’ll do Harvard for this one, and Princeton for this one, but for the third one, it’s hairdresser school.”
Great insight into the role expectations play in the national education debate.

I love, and only accept, high expectations.
