Lots of stuff has been going on at work. Too many meetings, too much extra-curricular crap that makes me feel pulled in too many different directions. Summer is coming. I will get some rest, regroup and refocus.
I want to end on a happy note. These are the things that have made me smile lately:
a student's mum telling me that her daughter *loves* my class.
a student telling me she was really glad that she had been able to talk with me about a serious problem in her life and that it had made a difference.
a new song my cousin shared with me.
an old song I ran across that kick-started my heart.
a boy coming to show me a chrysalis.
Sounds like you're making a big difference. Or, much more importantly, a hundred small differences. Good teachers are essential to a good world. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI always miss your posts when you're "away" but I completely understand how mentally exhausting your work must be.
ReplyDeleteThe little e-mails and comments are enough for me...for now! :)
