i have been second guessing myself a lot these days
there are times when i just stand in the middle of the room and think to myself "what the *bleep* am i doing here?"
i dislike that feeling of helplessness
i know, you probably think that i am just being too dramatic and that i only complain but i never do anything about it
and you know what? you are completely right
i love to talk about my feelings but when it comes to taking action i am just a big slacker
thinking about it i finally decided that i will start thinking of ways to change my approach towards my class and myself as a teacher because so far all the methods i have been using backfired on me
it will take a tremendous effort to do it and i know there will be times when i would revert back to my old habits acknowledging the fact that i need to re-evaluate my classroom management is the first step, took me 6 months but hey it's better late than never.
good intentions are always important but it is useless if you don't take action.
verbalizing and writing it down makes it very real
please wish me luck...

making the first move is always hard
i made my move and now it's your turn...
whatever will be, will be :)
thanks for making me smile even if it's just for a short while.

sayonara nostalgia

bittersweet
last walk of the year...
061710


buckets and buckets of tears
multiple hugs and "i will miss yous"
6 months from now i will just be a vague memory. miss a---? a teacher from the past that took them for walks, held their hands and read them stories.
"please keep in touch" an empty promise that i know too well.

on a happier note, i am excited for the big change in my life. i feel like the timing is just right. i am nervous and giddy with anticipation at the same time. slowly but surely i feel like i am back to where i was 5 years ago.

homeward bound in 12 days

on repeat: kings of leon and phoenix
