Hi everybody:) I’m Miranda (Freeman) Stringer. I graduated from the University of Mobile in 2016 with a bachelor’s in music education. I was also Miss UM in 2016👑 From there, I went on to complete my masters in Special Education from William Carey and now I teach elementary music in Gautier, MS. I recently discovered the ever so popular enneagram test. And discovered I am a hard 3. It is me TO A TEA. I love working, I love doing a good job, and I love being the best. I’ve been that way all my life. I feel as though I am thriving when I am steady at work and on a mission to accomplish something. Because I am a teacher, I sometimes just lay awake at night stressing to figure out how I can make myself better... which isn’t healthy btw. Working from home during covid has been challenging for sure to say the least.... although I’ve gotten some pretty good sleep recently! But I have really been thinking about where my identity truly comes from. When somebody asks you, “tell me about yourself?” the first thing that usually comes up is what you do for a living, your accomplishments, etc.. at least for me it is that way. Why am I so defined by my work and what I produce? Instead, I am learning that I am defined by the PRODUCER. The one who made me the way I am. I believe God created us to work and to want to work, but we can’t let that become WHO WE ARE. I have definitely been given an opportunity during this time to take a step back from the work, take a step away from my need to always be the over achiever, and relax in the fact that I am a daughter of the most high (who just really likes to work) and rest in Him. That is what defines me.
