Multihypenate came to me when I was helping out with my friend’s book launch. I introduced her as a multithypenate because she’s not only an incandescent educator, but also a musical storyteller. Her situation’s a busman’s holiday. Her interests of reading, travelling and community service are aligned both in her personal and professional life.

Similarly, I want to be a good-enough multihypenate. An enthusiastic educator, an avid global traveller, a creative blogger and a consummate influencer who can work the crowd. I think I would enjoy myself more than if I were to direct my energies solely on becoming a Senior/Level/Master teacher. (Yes, we take the teaching profession very seriously here. There are ranks, and there ARE ranks.)

How about you?
