I didn't want to go to school today. You're thinking I'm the teacher right?!
Yeah, but sometimes the morning just make you feel like you are tripping over imaginary boulders in your apartment. My morning did that. I was woken up to a break up call. Yes, at 6am. It wasn't offical on paper or facebook because apparently that is how we now define things, but it was in my heart. So after that I stumbled to the shower and just couldn't seem to get myself together for the day. Going out to my car I noticed a new scratch on my brand new car.
The entire way to school I was trying to give my heart reasons to rejoice, but I had put myself into a sour mood and stayed there.
Brilliance took over when I got home and I called my mother. God really was working towards perfection when He created mothers. She answered and I called and complained and boohooed. She listened gave me the good ol' his loss speech and I headed out to greet my children.
Of course my mother prayed for my day and sent positive thoughts my way. My day improved. We learned things, we moved forward.
Cheer after school was fun :] The girls cheered and the only man out here who has the ability to turn my cheeks 3 different colors of pink and make my heart flip flop all at once out here came to watch the game. I don't know who was doing more cheering, my heart or my girls :]
I came home to my dinner already prepared and a slew of I'm stupid emails, which I'll ignore. Good night all!
For the past 4 years of my life I have followed my heart through college and now into the real world, stepping out as a teacher for the first time. My old five year plan never included moving to an Indian reservation and teaching a 1st/2nd ELD combo, but here I am.

oh the blessings!
This morning I awoke with energy and a prayer on my heart.
I think that is saying something for the day itself.
My hopes for my students on days like this are always higher and just more hopeful.
When my spirit is that light, it shows in the class, their hope gets higher, they work a little harder and have a noticably better day.
Knowing this, how can I be so selfish as to forget to pray someday or to fully lift my students up in prayer? I haven't the slightest idea.
That needs to change. I need to change. I will change, I will get better :]
