If you have ever wondered why I would leave what I knew to go to what was new- here is your reason. Children are beautiful everywhere. Their expression of love and willingness to share it and to accept so readily spans past the color of skin, the culture of origin, and the miles on a map. This post is dedicated to my little Arielle- who I have loved like my own and will continue to love until I am no longer. She has taught me patience, trust, admiration, and strength. Someday she will see and understand this and shyly smile and say “Ms. Bryn, you are my favorite teacher”! again for the millionth time in a small matter of years. Oh, how I love this child…no doubt, a living and breathing angel that came to my daughter and I. God bless you, Arielle, and your future.
Signed,
Ms. Bryn

I teach...therfore I am ever evolving.For years I taught in the far west coast of Alaska in a few little Yu'pik Eskimo villages. I then traveled to the Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska where I lived for a year. Due to family, I then moved to the northern arrowhead of Minnesota for two years where I lived on the banks of Bear Island River. That was as long as I could be away from this glorious state. I returned in 2016 to the interior (on the road system) where I remained for 3 years while my last child graduated high school. I drove 120 miles a day to teach in the Indian village of Northway- teaching Alaska Cultures, dog mushing, MS/HS English, and K-12 Special Education. In 3 weeks, I will travel to above the Arctic Circle to a small Inupiat village of Kivalina which is on a 7 mile sand spit that lies between the Chukchi Sea and the main land. I have a love of sled dogs, children, and good books. I love to sew, write, and listen to great music.
