Middle school educator

While growing up my parents were both educators. I was raised in a small catholic mining town in Arizona which led to a lot of unique challenges. I then moved onto a private Christian university despite my concerns about bring openly gay there. Once I began my career as an educator, I had a concerning experience with admin at my first school, afterwards I remained in the same district and moved to a VERY LGBT friendly school with amazing admin. Finally leaving education after "almost"a decade due to concerns about the direction the staye of Arizona was taking.
I think my story would be an interesting one full of highs and lows that could make for an exciting episode
