I am a 24 year old teacher.  I work in at an alternative high school, all my students are extremely needy both academically and emotionally.  This job takes a toll on me physically and tires me out.  I hope eating right and exercise will help me not be so tired after school.

I have always been in shape for the most part, but after the recent holiday I felt like I put on a Christmas sweater.  I used to play competitive soccer in high school, which resulted in tearing my ACL.  Four years later, after graduating college, I tore my left ACL.  These surgeries are painful and left unable to return to my athletic self.  But I am now on a mission to reclaim my athleticism.  I hope to run a 5k by the end of the school year, and reestablish myself as an athlete.
