- No first year teacher will ever be good enough to escape that "Holy Crap, I'm drowning" feeling. I am no exception.
- I am not the perfectly patient, loving person that I thought I was. My homeroom class revealed that to me after 2 weeks.
- Downloading the Bible Ap that reads passages out loud has helped me stay awake on the long commute back from work.
- I offer a heart-felt and sincere apology to the people I accused of being bad friends when they didn't make the effort to keep up with our friendships. I now understand. Sorry.
- My body can no longer run as the high-efficiency machine that it has been in the past. I need to maintain and take care of it.
- Case in point: eating McDonalds 4 nights out of the week will result in labored breathing when walking up 1 flight of stairs.
- I need to be better organized in order to keep track of all the things going on in life.
- My coworkers inspire me in the way they keep track of each kid's strengths and weaknesses based on assessment data (they are Excel spreadsheet prodigies) and use that to formulate lessons.
- After only half a year of teaching, I already see so many holes in our education system. The over-dependence on standardized testing in schools, pushing students on to the next level when they aren't ready, and debatable educational practices are just a few of the hot-button topics that I'm begun noticing.
- I like vests, but have been too chicken to wear them anywhere other than at work.
- God uses tough times to bring me back to depend on Him. Yet I still end up forgetting.
- Being a Detroit Lions fan is bad for my emotional well-being.
