I’m someone who dreams big. I often start new projects with grand intentions of having time to follow them through. Except, reality happens. And then I don’t. I want to do waaaay more in life than I ever can and it’s been a rough acceptance that I can only do so much with whatever little life I’m lucky enough to be granted.
One grand idea of mine was to create an online Algebra course (I’m a math teacher by trade), put it up on Udemy, and bring in passive income. Except, it never fully realized. I ran out of time and passion.
But not before I created the first several lessons.
At this point, a full Algebra course is never going to materialize. So my loss is everyone else’s gain – I’m going to share these Algebra 1 powerpoints and practice worksheets with anyone else in the world who would like them. BUT ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE! To be clear, I am NOT giving permission for anyone to take my work (in whole or in part) and use it for their profit.
ALSO NOTE: I strongly suggest you download these free fonts first:
KG Ten Thousand Reasons
Orange Juice
so that the .ppt formatting stays as pretty as I meant it to. I’m already giving you free reign to take my work and edit it all up (but only for personal use), so please be kind to it. And use it to teach people math with it. Math is cool.

I have done the same thing also. I start out with this awesome idea. I work on it for some time, and then life gets in the way. Once I have the time to come back and complete it, I have other areas that I find more interesting now.
I thought that I was the only person who ever did that, and now I have met another. Thank you for telling the internet world because I used to feel so bad about myself when I would do that. Now I don’t.
