First Day of Teaching

Exhausting. Exhilarating. Inspiring.

My students are amazing and I have already bought them into me as their teacher and our classroom as an oasis.

I have noticed some of the more immediate challenges (behaviorally and academically that I will have this year) but I am excited about bringing every student up to the level of Achievement.

Keep the prayers. Keep the strength.

Day 2 coming up.

Official Season begins....

Institute is over.
One of the toughest experiences of my life. It was a pledge process.

I am almost ready for my classroom.

For the next 2 years, I will be teaching 7th grade Mathematics. God Answers all prayers and I am thankful for everyone who has supported me!

These past 3 weeks have led me to one question Im constantly challenging myself to think about:

My freedom or theirs?

So many universal lessons of struggle, passion, desire, frustration, and road to perfection that I am revisiting.

There's only 24 hours in a day and theres alot to do.

This is not for the weak..I have already heard talks from some about dropping...and its only the beginning of Week 2.


This is tough work! Our bottomline is the students learning growth.

Every learner is unique. We must empower that.

Week 1 was a struggle adapting. The beginning of Week 2 has been rough in some ways and easier in others.

My first teaching lesson was today! It went well. I have to ensure I stay focused on go hard. I love my students. They already inspire me. They cannot Fail because I will not fail.
