My name is Jessie. I have been living with ALS since 2017, when I was 47. My first year was pretty tame, but then my progression accelerated. I had to give up my teaching career at the end of June 2019. I haven’t given up my passion for education though, and you will probably see blog posts here about my thoughts on teaching and learning. I live with my two wonderful sons and my husband, love of my life, who learned of my diagnosis after our first date, and still wanted to get to know me.
