A Longing for Home

Personal Log Stardate 47004.4

After talking with Vedek Marsel, and reviewing the Klingon doctor’s work on Bajor, I am so very homesick.

Bajor

Having grown up on Usal IV, I’ve never spent much time on my home world. I’ve visited only once the Cardassians left, right after Bajor was liberated. What a glorious homecoming that was! I don’t think I have time to visit before I take command of the Avenger. I miss my people as well. I haven’t been lucky enough to be assigned with other Starfleet Bajorans yet. It’s my hope (and I did make a request of Admiral Verata) that I’ll have some Bajorans in my crew. I hate attending services alone. Our religion, our faith, our culture is communal; we need to be with our own kind. It would cheer me to no end to have half a dozen or so Bajorans assigned to the ship.

I am twenty plus year veteran teacher. In 2020, I left the education field and found myself in healthcare—what a strange world that is! But in October of 2022, I found my way back to education. This blog will chronicle my journey in this new venture.
