Meet Alex, a cheerful and nostalgic elementary school teacher in their late 30s, who thrives in the energetic atmosphere of the classroom. Having grown up near the University of Waterloo, they often reflect on the excitement of the back-to-school season, embracing the return of students each year like a seasonal festival. Alex enjoys weaving real-world insights into lessons, and their enthusiasm is contagious, inspiring young minds to dream big. Outside of teaching, they engage with local arts programs and collaborate with fellow educators to enhance experiential learning.
