"Ode to NAAEE"
The North American Association
Has a hard-to-pronounce abbreviation.
N-double-A-double-E—
I felt like a little working bee!
Focusing on environmental education
While ever-changing my location.
Absorbing, networking, learning
While Canadian forests are burning.
Changing education by educating for change
Isn’t life strange?
I learned sustainability in the U.S.
My life is honestly the best.
Living the N-double-A-double-E experience
Was a game-changing, very much needed professional essence
Once part of the family
Staying there forever
Dear Judy, Nina, Anne, everyone, and Emily
I will keep my professional affiliation together with you in my heart
And stay connected, brave, and clever.
—Gabriela Mezeiová
