First long day of training over. Time for a fresh start.
The pros:
I love my school.
So many great teachers that really care about helping their students.
I'm really impressed with the new hires that are joining us this year.
A new assistant principal.
I'm feeling totally inspired about the opportunity I have and very optimistic about the coming year..
The cons:
With all the hope and inspiration at times comes feelings of insecurity. I wish I did more. I wish I could help every student I have to feel like my classroom is a safe place. I wish I could help them develop a love for learning and creating. I feel this overwhelming responsibility to help all of my students not just graduate but become better people. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing at times and then ask questions like, "How on earth did I think I was qualified for this?"
Then I remember a phrase I read once:
"...if ye have desires to serve...ye are called to the work."
