Welcome to Life Lessons by Ms. Donohoe

I am an Irish secondary school teacher with a brain injury.

These are the educational stories about my life, living with a brain injury, in the hope it can help others.

A word from the editor...

Hi EVERYONE,

      Welcome back to my website. This month was a hectic time for everyone! We were fortunate to take our annual Christmas market trips to Belfast, a tradition from the accountancy student days AND Galway Christmas markets, a new tradition since my brain injury.

       

      Which is best? Belfast are the winners.

       

      My music therapy group came up with our own Christmas jingle, I hope you enjoy, see video attached:

      This month, I…

       

      • Answer a question that my new friends regularly ask: What was I like before the brain injury?

       

      • Answer some festive questions in Ask the Teacher

       

      • Highlight the importance of people setting boundaries, especially this time of the year to Just Say No!

       

      • Review an old Facebook post, reminding us to be grateful what we have

       

      Enjoy!
