Snippits of thoughts
People don’t really care how much you think you can do or not do. They just want to see a job done well. So get it done without all the worry:).
Crazy how I change when those around me change. New co-workers bring out new mannerisms and parts of my personality. Is this ok, or does that mean I am not being the real me? MUST remember to not compare myself to others….
It is amazing what you can do when you know how to get to the outcome you want. In teaching, it seems like you are suddenly going off on rabbit trails all over the place. But a good teacher brings all those paths together into an “ah-ha” moment that is truely beautiful. This takes knowing yourself, knowing the material, and knowing the audience.
We each got “Speak with good purpose” beads. Three of them. Taboo words were “Can’t,” “Don’t,” and “Not.” Have you ever taught 80 plus 12 year olds without those three words? It is harder than you think. And I consider myself a positive person. A positive person who lost her beads the first day.
