I, Myself and Me
Hi everyone! A mini-introduction about myself. I am a teacher to a lovely bunch of grade 4 children. My hobbies include reading and watching movies. I am currently reading a fantastic book edited by Melbourne based writer, Alice Pung titled ‘Asians Growing Up In Australia’. My interests include engaging in different types of visual culture and I’m always game to try out new technology. I love to interact with others and learn more about different cultures.
