A is for Aardvark
<p>There’s the little guy. Did you know aardvarks are related to the elephant?</p>
<p>I’m a maths teacher. I’m not a writer. And I’m not an artist. And yet here I am writing on medium and there I am again drawing on Instagram.</p>

<p>Teaching is probably my calling. Much as I hate to admit it. I’m pretty decent at it now, I know what I’m doing for the most part. Getting kids to make progress makes sense to me. I know the craft and I can manipulate it to suit ages and abilities, backgrounds and neurodiversities.</p>
<p>Teaching gives me purpose in my work. But it’s not what lights me up.</p>
<p>I’ve always had loads of interests and the occasional fad. I’ve loved drawing since forever. Writing is new to me and is slowly becoming my outlet. I enjoy dabbling in tarot. I could read fantasy novels all day everyday. Gardening is pretty relaxing. Disney + Harry Potter is life. Not to mention my love for my family, dogs and all.</p>
<p>But drawing has always been there. Like a little itch I need to occasionally scratch. But like that annoying itch, the more you scratch, the more you need to scratch. The next thing you know is you’re up against a wall like Baloo the Bear, getting in all those hard to reach places.</p>
