I think, as a teacher, it is incredibly important that we set a 'safe fail' zone. So many students feel they need to get the right answer the 1st time or they are themselves a failure. I hate this, honestly.

For the first time in 30+ years, I was on roller skates today. It was...interesting. I did not fall, which was great, and I think a few of the 8th graders were impressed.

We had 8th grade prom last Saturday. A student I don't even work with on my caseload wanted a photo with me. I am doing something right, if I'm making these connections.

I am currently listening to 'A Minute With' on Skillshub for Actors. I am going to sign up for coaching with the person being interviewed, as he is all about audiobooks. I'm freaking doing this.

Between the thunderstorms yesterday, and my having the audacity to vacuum today, my 3 cats are requesting a quiet day tomorrow.

Am I a perfect teacher? Nope. Do I strive to be a perfect teacher? Absolutely not. Why? Because I want my students to see that it is ok to not be perfect. To make mistakes. To be wrong. To own up to errors.

So I did a thing last Friday at our school's PD day. I spoke up for myself. I now have a larger classroom, which makes me feel more content. During a brief break, I decided to ask our principal what the plan for the empty room right next to mine was. She asked if I wanted it.Yes!

So! I’m officially on a GLP thingie, committing hardcore to WW, and going to the gym. Because I find myself looking in the mirror..and starting to like/love what I see. I deserve to love myself. I deserve to put the work in for myself.
